Sometimes, I think we got a raw deal with evolution.
Couldn't we have evolved to live under water with a spine like sharks?
No fixed spinal column made of bone with all the attendant degeneration issues as we get older.
Sharks move around without dealing with joint damage and they don't have to live in buildings that need to be heated and cooled.
They don't have to go to work to pay for everything.
Cartilege rules. Hard bone degenerates into mush and pain.
Surely there is a planet with the most intelligent creatures live under water and live free and, well, don't have to worry about being eaten by an alpha predetor like killer whales.
Sigh. I can only dream.
ND. Depending on the day, I still get between 16,000-20,000 steps each day, but I haven’t been running much or Peloton cycling. I’m really looking forward to being “normal” again. I’m the female teacher chaperone on our 6th grade’s Outdoor Ed camp in a little over a week and will be leading a 12 mi hike up the mountain by Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara. Our male teacher chaperone will be escorting those who opt out of the hike on a day boat excursion on the lake. The hike won’t be an issue and I would still choose it over the boat ride. FWIW, our male chaperone teacher is a diehard ND fan. I think that the pre-teen girl angst will be less on a long hike up and down the mountain, as opposed to a day long boat ride though. May the odds be ever in his favor! If we were sharks, we wouldn’t be able to experience the beauty outside the water.
You dream about going up there, but that is a big mistake. Just look at the world around you right here on the ocean floor. Such wonderful things surround you! What more is you lookin' for?!?!?
