Last winter PK and I took the Little Bun out sledding for the first time. Of course I brought my camera along.

Going Deep
Most of us have two functioning eyes with which to see. Each eye sees something slightly different. By putting those two images together, the brain can compare and contrast the information resulting in a picture with depth and perspective.
With only one image, we may not correctly percieve how far away that stop sign is.

Running Home
Some say we can end homelessness. I'm going to agree. So the question is how? I'm going to do my part to help find out.

Speed Machine
For anyone who has run any distance of significance you know about gas problems. Running makes a person toot. Another reason to dislike running on a treadmill is that there's people within arms reach of me. Out on the open road I feel fine being, uh, natural. I can even let one slip when I'm on the track.
When there's super-grandpas to the left of me and severly scented Susies to the right, I must suffer gastral pain. Combine that with my fear of falling and I'm not that happy about running on a machine.
On the plus side, I did learn my average heart rate was 166 and I supposedly burned 546 calories during my 45 minute run. That's a small consollation considering all the other grief I had to endure.
I couldn't set the time higher than 30 minutes. My wife tells me that's because people are usually waiting to use the machines. And people think I'm crazy for running in sub-zero weather!
There's all these arbitrary numbers to set before running. What does an elevation of 2.5 mean? How about a speed of 6.6? Give me some hills and let me run as fast as I can up them and tell me when it's been 45 minutes!
