Very timely comic strip for me. Tomorrow, we’re moving the rowing machine from a protected outdoor location to indoors. We’re getting too old to row outside in the cold (or heat) anymore.
Well, the storm did hit. We’ve gotten a good six to seven inches so far and it’s still coming down this morning and the wind is terrible. I’m on the edge of mid-Michigan, not sure what the Detroit area got. Good thing that rowing machine is getting moved. She’d be hard pressed to find it today!
Inquisitive little girl: “Are you going to have to run on the treadmill?”
Honest answer: “Sweetie, nobody has to run on a treadmill. In fact, nobody has to run at all, unless they’re a character in this comic strip, in which case it’s the only thing they ever talk about.”
I remember driving across Iowa when my kids were small, they were complaining about how boring the drive was. Suddenly I pointed out the window and said, “Look!!” They went, “What? What??!!” I said, “Corn !!” A half hour later “OH MY GOD. . . . More Corn.” They threw comic books at me.

Rowing exercises a larger set of muscles than “plain running”.

Subliminal reference to “Dust in the Wind” when it’s snowing like a banshee outside?

Yeah-nothing to see in most of Kansas so 120 it to Colorado or Nebraska.
