1894
Today marks the 1,894th day in a row that I have walked (sometimes jogged) each and every day for approximately 5 miles. It is an endeavor that now is very much a habit and is second nature to me. It has been very helpful for me physically (normal BMI) and emotionally (helps me to reduce stress. I am glad I do this, and I am glad I have the motivator of being able to get such a large number. Even though the number plays a less crucial role these days as the habit is established, I still like the idea now that I am approaching a close milestone (1900) and also moving towards a really big milestone number of 2000. I hope I keep up my consistency.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
That fine Barber dime is worth $1.43 today. Not such a big deal, 1434% over 6 score years, now is it?
ReplyDeleteBut the 1964 Washington dime is worth the same, and that is only 50 years hence. Now according to the BLS, a 1964 dime should be worth only $75 cents now, if we go by the CPI...
But hey, maybe gold is overpriced. I dunno, but if you plug 1913 into the same year of that BLS, CPI calculator, then think that dime is worth $2.36...
Silver values sure do fluctuate depending on what segment of history you're looking at, don't they, Lucky 'ol Leo?
I admire you for all this walking. Walking gives you time to be alone with your thoughts and tune out the maddening clatter we live with these days.
