Got truck serviced today (oil change plus several repairs) and went through a smog inspection. One repair on the truck was the water pump. That's four pumps (original 2002, 2006, 2010 and now 2012) or about one new pump every 25,000 miles. What's going on? Some kind of design flaw no doubt but no recalls. I dropped off the truck this morning and then walked home from the shop. That's about 1.3 miles! When it was time to go pick up the vehicle, I walked to the shop--another 1.3 miles. Meanwhile, I walked to Starbucks and back to get a green tea latte plus did a few errands. A healthy day of walking! More than I've done in quite some time. Need to do more.

Watched a crappy movie tonight -- Simple Men. Supposedly a comedy but not all that funny and all pasted together with a junky plot. It's about two brothers who head out to find their father who has been hiding from the authorities because he supposedly threw a bomb into a crowd during the 60s. The older brother is a criminal; the younger brother is a college dropout who was studying philosophy. Yes, it goes on from there with more strange connections and missing links. Glad it wasn't all that long.

Movement class tomorrow! Will need some stretching out after today's walking efforts. Let the good times bowl!
