Day 329-And I even bought a damn bottle of MOUNTAIN DEW!

The trouble with the internet (aside the fact that it's a time vampire) is the reality that any moron (including me) can insert whatever nonsense they want into the Web-o-Sphere, and most folks take it as it is. 

For instance, my kids and I got burned by the whole "you-can-turn-a-bottle-of-Mountain-Dew-into-a-giant-glow-stick-for-your-camping-trip" gag last night. No, we weren't camping. Thank goodness, or I would've lugged hydrogen peroxide and baking soda out into the wilderness for nothing. 



I even went out and bought a Mountain Dew. Blech! What annoyed me the most was that it came from a blog I really like and trust. But, they didn't look into whether it rally worked; they simply re-posted it and called it a day.

Serves me right for not investigating further before trying. The internet does that to you, too. I have a relative whose entire political education of late is fed by forwarded emails filled with absurd claims and nonsense, none of which are ever investigated or followed up. 

And that leads me to Walk The Year. Everything I've told you, or shown you, or claimed, I've done. Except for dance walking. I only have done that in private, but I know it's fun! Also private: pooping with a stool under my feet. That one is cool, too! Try it!



See? Cool!



Otherwise, the health benefits I've espoused are ones I've experienced. There are no Snope-worthy claims here on Walk The Year. You're welcome to it, but I can also tell you that if you try doing what I'm doing--walking every day--you WILL reap huge, and not at all embarrassing, benefits from it. 


True dat, 
Dani
