Wellfest

Yesterday I went to a wellfest. This was not a celebration of hole-and-bucket water retrieval systems but rather a celebration of health and safety.

The most interesting things I got were a bottle of that alcohol cleaning gel, which you can use to clean your hands with no water or towels, and a tire pressure gauge. What does a tire pressure gauge have to do with wellness? If your tires are properly inflated, you use less gas, thus causing less pollution, and so the air is healthier to breathe. (And if your bicycle tires are improperly inflated, you use more energy to pedal and thus stay in better shape?)

I also got my body mass checked. The bad news is that I am now officially overweight. The good news is that the person taking the measurement insisted on taking it twice because it seemed too high. So did the person at the other table who was doing the same thing. So apparently my extra body fat is very cleverly hidden, disguised, or camouflaged and thus not causing me any problems on the social interaction front.

Still, now that the weather is getting better for outdoor exercise, it would be good to do some additional work toward fixing that problem.

Here's a good conversation I was in today:

"Is anything in the garage more important than having a workshop?"

"No."

That could have interesting repercussions.

But cleverly hidden, remember? For example, the height divided by weight estimate shows that I am doing just fine. It's only the bioelectrical impedence method that can detect just how much of me is fat versus muscle.

Honorable suicide by banging your head on your desk? That could take a while. If you're going to spend that long doing something, it should be fun. I recommend watching some movies instead.

If you are thinking that you could do both at once, then I will instead recommend going for a nice long walk in our lovely weather, someplace safe, and you are not allowed to bring a desk with you.
