A quotation from A. A. Milne

Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit.
There isn’t any
Other stair
Quite like
It.
I’m not at the bottom,
I’m not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where
I always
Stop.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
When We Were Very Young, “Halfway Down,” st. 1 (1924)

Electric cars won't fix sitting: The health costs of designing cities around cars

Commuters feel this in their bones—time spent in traffic is bad for your health.

Medical Xpress

> Across numerous studies, Gardiner and colleagues found that active sitting activities, like reading, playing card games, and ***using a computer***, showed "overwhelmingly positive associations with cognitive health, enhancing cognitive functions such as executive function, situational memory, and working memory."

Phew 😅
