Peter rides his bike 1.9 km (in about 8 mins). This is a first, and I am much-pleased that others do this, too. Makes all kinds of sense. I don’t need to go through the plusses of going around on bikes. Just start with it.

Someone asked me today what an arcade game was. It was a first meeting with a man at my new office-space. I launched into a historical diachronical account of how the arcade came into being, what its social implications were, how the *flaneur* was created by this architectural/business phenomenon. Then how light entertainment was added …
