    I walk every day to feel better mentally and physically. Warm months I walk in the mornings, but now that the weather is cooling down, I'm walking in the late afternoons.
    Today I start at 3pm or so, this way after my walk I can also have enough daylight to work some in the woods.

    I try to do a bit of time on the treadmill in the winter and I get outside if it isn't terrible. During the summer, we are outside almost all day. I can't go for long walks any more, but it is said here that people who don't get outside in the winter go nuts. Maybe I am already there:D

    Treadmills are good but being out here I need to get out of the house so I walk and work in the woods, plus housework of course. Don I can realty tell if I skip a day outside.

    A wealthy friend says he stays here in the winter when the air is cold and clear, but goes to Hawaii when it gets dark and stormy. He says the air here seems so much cleaner that the air in Hawaii.

    I can believe that Don. Here in Florida the air is cleaner than some states north of us, ocean breeze helps.

    Ocean breezes in Hawaii are fine too @Marie Mallery but the "crispness of cold air just isn't achieved is tropical and sub-tropical areas. Even though the air is clean, it still has a "heaviness about it that clod air doesn't have. I am sure that is what my friend was referring to.
