Random thoughts

Apparently only 15 percent of Canadian adults are getting enough exercise -- 2.5 hours of moderate to vigorous exercise per week -- so says a recent study.

Have you ever noticed that when people get on an escalator or moving walkway, they stop walking, as if the world owes them something? Have you noticed that when we go to the shopping centre, we instinctively drive around and around trying to find the closest spot to the door, so we don’t have to walk far? And if you take transit, do you know notice how everyone huddle at the end of the train platform where the escalator deposited them, instead of walking further down.

Imagine if we just walked a little more.

My five year old son asked the other day, why it is that people say the alarm [smoke alarm, fire alarm, alarm clock] is going off, when really it is going on? Yes, why is that?
