Walking the dog AM

i was so bored yesterday. Everything felt boring. Even writing here seemed that way.

This morning Z walked the dogs with me. He was wearing more of L's pjs. He needs to work on limiting the cross-dressing. We walked a different way than my usual wrote. i am teaching him that sidewalks are better. So we cut a u shaped block and then go back. Normally i cross the street to the park. This way with him in his tricycle and helmet we cross no streets. And we go just a as far, about 6 blocks or roughlya 1/3 to 1/2 of a mile. How many blocks is a mile? Am i saying 18 blocks is a mile. i think if i recall correctly my father, who lived in Brooklyn says a mile is 8 to 10 city blocks depending if the blocks are big its 8 and small its 12. And 12 to 15 if the blocks are really small. We walked 4 regular size ones and 2 shorter ones.

Here is the route South on Winslow Court, West on Yarmouth Crossing. I hate that that street has a cross in the name. North on Rothbury. South on Rothbury, East on Yarmouth Crossing and North on Winslow Court. Note Winslow Court is a dead end. Normally i go cross Rothbury and head South on Rothbury to the park. i usually turn around when Rothbury intersects Oakengates or even a little before that.

In other news, my wife went to Lowe's and bought a washer, dryer and dishwasher. We would like to donate our old dryer. The washer and dryer we bought new 13 years ago and the dishwasher maybe 10 years ago. She spent as much money as i will be making teaching this C++ class this whole semester.
