My goal is to walk more this year, I have a dog        that gets me walking 3x/day, but he's slowing down now - it's less        walking and more sniffing these days. I have a market a mile away, but        there's a big hill in the middle.                                    --- MultiMail/Win v0.52        * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 810       SEEN-BY: 218/840 860 880 226/30 227/114 229/110 134 206 275 300 307       SEEN-BY: 229/317 400 426 428 470 664 700 705 266/512 291/111 301/1       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 5075/35       PATH: 218/700 229/426           |
