How Much Does It Cost To Walk?
I am not fond of flying, nor all the attendant airport hassle, which is mostly, of course, a consequence of terrorism.

Yet I have to say I’m sympathetic to the British airline pilots who have ‘released a combative statement attacking the U.K. government’s £2 billion plan for cycling and walking during the lockdown.’
One of Bojo’s underlings, Grant Shapps, has apparently been on about a “once in a generation” plan to boost cycling and walking…which starts with £250 million to enable local authorities to pay for “pop-up” cycling and walking infrastructure to cater for physical distancing during lockdown.
’Pop-up?’
Like the zoms keep doing in WD?

Despite reading that story and the original article in Forbes magazine, I cannot find anything to explain the use of the peculiar phrase ‘pop-up,’ which at its least alarming conjures up images of a jack-in-the-box.
We are all capable of using our legs, unless one is disabled.
Here in Jakarta, I have resumed running as a way of both passing the time and staying healthy until the threat unleashed from Red China abates.

I walk to the minimart every day.
I run back and forth in my small front yard.
If it rains, I shift indoors -my living room is longer than my yard!
Yesterday I needed to use an atm and because the nearest one operated by Bank Danamon is about 2 kliks away, I walked there.
Then I walked home again. I enjoyed the exercise.
