"The Blog Almost Too Boring To Be The Most Boring Blog in America ... for Over 5 Years!"

until it got too many red cards from Wounded Duck and the Boredom Enforcement Committee ... now the tortoise's goal is to get to 10 red cards so he can get Big Dog to drive down and take a good long walk with the tortoise

P. S. This blog listens to its readers. We have the Benjamin Category Override for 5+ mile walks and now, it humbles Tortoise to say he has been named "Lou", by Doug Jr, in memory of Mr. Consistency himself, Lou Gehrig. Tortoise can hardly type the words to think he is in any way comparable to the noble Iron Horse. Thank you!

14-301


It was a late night walk up Main to the city office and back.  2.06 miles with 54 feet climbed in 34:57 minutes.  Tortoise rating:  5.6; calories burned:  304.  Please click below for a map and today's walking message by Ardath Kapp ...

Cheerio!




2014 Stats:

861.61 miles walked, which is 86.07% of my 2014 goal.
271:52:09 hours walked, which is 86.86% of my 2014 goal
42,320 total feet climbed 
137,415 calories burned
82.43% of the year has passed

I've walked 32 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on September 20, and overall have walked on 245 of the 258 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.96% consistency rating.

The purpose of the percentages is to have a higher percentage of distance and time walked than of the year. This tells Tortoise that he is on track. Yes, this is more numbers than you are likely interested in, all Tortoise can say is he's really good at setting high goals and having them slip away because he doesn't do them every, every day.

And now for today's message ...

"In Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye speaks to his daughters and says: In Anatevka “Everyone here knows who [she] is and what God expects [of her.]” (Jerry Bauch, “Tradition,” Fiddler on the Roof, New York: Sunbeam Music, 1971.)
"It is important for all of us to know who we are and what God expects of us.
"After Jesus had fasted forty days, the tempter came to Him and attempted to plant seeds of doubt about who He really was: “If thou be the Son of God,” he began his evil ploy. (Matt. 4:3.) Jesus knew who He was. He has declared that message clearly to each of us: “Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God!” (D&C 6:21.) He is our Savior, our advocate with the Father."
