Exercise Schedule - Sagan's Book

After tomorrow, I will have completed one month of thread mill exercise. I am currently using a five day a week schedule. As I mentioned in a previous post, it's all about the numbers. Tomorrow, I plan to check my records so I can fine tune my exercise program for next month. I'll post more on that later.

I'm finding Carl Sagan's book, "The Demon-Haunted World" - Science As A Candle In The Dark, to be quite interesting. Each chapter has some very stimulating passages. From time to time, I will post a few of the passages that catch my interest, such as the following one from Chapter 1 titled - The Most Precious Thing: So pseudoscience in America is part of a global trend. Its causes, dangers, diagnosis and treatment are likely to be similar everywhere. Here, psychics ply their wares on extended television commercials, personally endorsed by entertainers. They have their own channel, the "Psychic Friends Network"; a million people a year sign on and use such guidance in their everyday lives. For the CEOs of major corporations, for financial analysts, for lawyers and bankers there is a species of astrologer/soothsayer/psychic ready to advise on any matter. "If people knew how many people, especially the very rich and powerful ones, went to psychics, their jaws would drop through the floor," says a psychic from Cleveland, Ohio.

Mind boggling stuff!
