R-E: County won't pay for Boardman trail studies
TheAtlantic: The Geography of Obesity
25% of Michiganders are obese and some Grand Traverse County Commissioners voted against studying an expansion of the Boardman Lake trail because "Many of my constituents have never seen this trail and probably never will in their lifetime".
Well, Commissioner, maybe if they did see the trail they wouldn't be so fat.
This reminds me of a comment overheard this past weekend while taking the shuttle from the Detroit airport to the parking lot across the street "My feet are killing me. That [the walk from the terminal to luggage claim] was the farthest I have walked since the last time we were at the airport".
