Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 09, 2016

Yeesh, that smile suggests fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Yep, she’s become an urban legend all right.

We have one in our neighborhood too!

The crazy walking woman probably has a handgun. Or at least that’s what grocery lady is betting.

Always nice to have a title.

Yup, she’s nuts.

nah this is more a commentary of how paranoid we are becoming of neighbors who we don’t even make an effort to meet. so when Janis makes a friendly gesture and hello that is reason to run? REALLY????

being sinister to a senior…

Reminds me of that flash forward scene in Breaking Bad where the neighbor recognizes Walter White.

In my neighborhood, I am the walking woman. Everyone waves to me or says “Hi”. Some people even carry on a conversation with me. No one seems afraid of me. Some even hold me as a role model. I am 74 and they want to be like me when they are my age.

This is a sad but true commentary on our culture. People who exercise are looked upon as weird at best and downright crazy at worst. I am the “bike guy” locally because I ride for exercise every day which is a foreign concept to most people nowadays. The real tragedy is that so many people have accepted and embraced over-eating and under-exercising to the point that obesity and all the related health risks have become the norm.

Around our neighborhood it’s hard to get walking exercise because one must stop to talk with every neighbor! Driving is one-handed too, since everyone waves as you pass by.

This does look pulled from real life – about half the people I cross paths with on walks return eye contact and some kind of greeting, the other half goes all scared rabbit.

I walked down my block yesterday to get the mail.I was asked where my dog was.Im that guy.

That’s sexy to you? To each his own. It’s creepy to me. :-)

That was creepy.

what happened to her neighbor/BFF Robin?

Let the non-exercisers die off. It just means that Social Security will be around longer for those of us who do take care of ourselves.

funny how the “Fitness” crowd thinks they will live forever by running, walking, ect. like some how they are immune from cancer or accidents because they worship the gods of health. they are often so smug and superior about it as has been demonstrated in this thread.

" It just may look like they think they are immortal.".I remember a course in college where we were shown the heart of a person who has exercised regularly. They discussed what great shape it was in..I kept thinking, “But he’s still dead.”‘Twas all for naught..Imagine he was run over while biking or walking..Cars used to pass me closely when biking, then the driver and passengers would look back to see if they had killed me that time. Close, very close, but no cigar.Others weren’t so lucky.A neighbor was always telling me he was in better shape than I was.He was right, right up to the time the semi hit him.He’s still alive, but wearing several casts and a long recovery ahead of him.So, I’m ahead at the moment.
