How often do you walk or run?

The daily writing prompt is poking me at my weak spot. I walk every day I can and my goal is to walk roughly 2h per day or 10K steps. I believe that walking makes life better, and cars make it worse. Walking also gives material for blog posts.

Here are photos from my two daily walks today. The first one was part of my trip back home.

A thousand tourists staring at a marvelous tourist creation, like flies attracted by sugary water. Tourists can make the prettiest thing on the planet look undesirable.

Stray white panther from Sofia. Well fed and bored, refused to look at me for the photo. Wouldn’t have seen her without my evening walk to buy food. No tourists around.

Water on Macs

About 48 hours ago I spilled a glass of sparkling water on my laptop. After a very long wait, I booted it and it works! It’s not out of dodge yet, apparently corrosion issues can appear in the next 2-3 days. I plan to migrate to a backup computer over the weekend and will send this one for repairs.

I think the tactic of turning the computer upside down, turning it off, and then putting it on sheets of paper worked well so far. Rice and silica gel dehumidifiers apparently are not good and can increase the damage.

Water damage

My computer took a hit. I spilled a glass of sparkling water over the keyboard. It’s now drying. I can’t work and the OCD is strong. I’ve been glued to that thing for far too long.

At least I can still blog, thanks to the Jetpack app.

Ps. Apparently there’s a strong chance that the computer will stop working due to corrosion in the next days. There’s also a strong chance it will keep working because I spilled water and I turned it upside down quickly. Wish me luck.

Bansko

Bansko is changing.

It used to be a small town with an old city. Then the ski zone came with thousands of new hotels, growing faster than the infrastructure. It had lots of people in the winter but was a muddy ghost town in the summer. Now the central area is expanding with paved walking streets that make it a summer resort as well.

The digital nomads and hipsters have found it. It has multiple co-working spaces. An abandoned hotel turned to a co-living space. The central square has daily events. People everywhere.

The success infected the nearby villages as well. Banya has multiple 4 and 5* hotels with mineral water.

I can see us going back with the goal to climb Vihren again. Not sure when. The summer season is over.
