"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!

Mile 820. The double tease. What do you think Boredom Committee, is this a quality hill for the path to work? There's more when you click below to continue reading ...

Mile 815. Walking home on a late Friday work night before another uberdeadline on Monday. Sounds like a good time to tease the Boredom Committee, who must be thinking the ultimate boredom is to have no blog posts to monitor at all. Fear not, Tortoise is still walking! This will be a quick highlight post, hopefully Lou will come back and add more details to it sometime in November after the next work deadline on the hallowed eve of All Saints Day. But if you click to keep reading, Tortoise does have a little more for you ...
Cheerio!

Mile 656. Tortoise walked back to work today, after getting some bonus exercise clearing weeds from where he is standing up as far as ... where you can see the weeds he didn't complete yet. Walking thought was by Thomas Monson ...

Mile 651 . It's a beautiful evening! Let's walk home from work! Up and down the hills of Hurricane's 600 North Street, accompanied by a thought by Neil Andersen and later by some very high quality tunes (at least Tortoise thought they were) ...

Mile 632. Let's walk back to work in the relative cool of the morning! Here's a view at the 3 mile mark looking at the remaining walk down Hurricane's 400 South Street and the hill to climb beyond that. Tortoise enjoyed himself! Today's thought is by Russell Ballard ...
Cheerio!

Mile 627. It was beautiful, clear, and 98 degrees sunny at 7 pm this evening. Wounded Duck was en route from the land northward for a visit and due to arrive at 8:30. Tortoise sent him a text and set off for home for the first time from his new Hurricane workplace, to enjoy the beauty and to see if he could make it in time to greet Duck upon his arrival. The picture above shows the view after the first mile. Walking thought was by Tom Perry ...
Cheerio!

Mile 459. You're looking at the view to the east down to the Virgin River through the protective rails along the walkway across the LaVerkin - Hurricane bridge. Nice! It's another of the views Tortoise gets when he walks to work. Today's walking thought was by Gary Stevenson ...
Cheerio!
