Tuesday, 26th May -- so many of your states are opening up -- and you're telling me there are more new cases. Question: More new cases than you'd expect , or are new cases due to more testing? Listen, guys, you're saying there are some folk not behaving as they should? SAY SOMETHING -- be polite -- they'll probably react badly, but if you're nice and reasonable, it'll make them think. (Unless they're teenagers -- and good luck with that.)
The hike yesterday around King's Mountain -- it's an amazing walk, but it was really too hot -- I'm a real heat wuss, simply can't deal with it -- Many of you gave me good ideas about freezing water before you go, etc. -- thank you. 4 miles -- that's a lot. Some of you are doing 5 miles, I applaud you. You're the greatest . Another thing that strikes me on hikes is you're up high, tons of wooded hills around you and then suddenly there's a sort of notch and there's the city -- like in the photo I posted yesterday and your heart gives you a bump.
Please get out early if it's going to be hot, but do not use the heat as an excuse not to walk and exercise -- Hot here again today -- believe me, it ain't going to be four miles! But at least a mile before collapsing in a heap.
