So on the lighter side, was walking about Lake Union (fairly close to downtown Seattle) on Sunday 9/7/2014. Circumnavigating is about a 6 mile hike. I love urban hikes in the Fall especially, sometimes into Winter when weather cooperates. Edit: someone already created such a Meetup group, RE urban hikes and mass transit, which I have since joined.

Since the day two giants
fell on the ground,
took innocent lives,

Candles will burn,
Flowers will stack,
But nothing would ease the pain,
love ones may never come back!...
