#Health #advice: Get out for a daily #walk. By the #sea can be especially #rejuvenating .
#Council advise: #Carpark #fees increasing. No free spaces in the
#evening or in #winter. They want more #money.

Will I spend more?
No, I don't have it.
Will I walk less?
Yes as I live by a narrow #path where walking means #breathing in #traffic #fumes.

WIST Quotations Jul 30

A quotation from Molly Ivins

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1990-02), “The Czar is Hooked,” The Progressive
