(They began as M-net walks, but most of the walk people
ended up on Grex as the community divided.)

RISKS digest volume 22 issues 94 and 95 are in the usual spot.
(They seem to come out in pairs now.)

Re #74: Yep, but you'd only have had to been away from Ann Arbor for
a short while to have missed the change. The one-way stretches near
the intersection of State and Liberty were eliminated only a couple of
months ago.
Re #72: Are walk announcements still published in the Observer?
If so, they should be revised to reflect the new start time.

I think we should wait and see if the new start time sticks, before
contacting the Observer. I think we've missed the November deadline anyway,
so let's at least wait until we've had a few successful 10:00 walks.

You might also want to consider calling them "ambles". ;-)

There's a village called Amble in Northumberland county, England. Strangely
enough, I never heard of it going anywhere....

Well, the Grexwalk is sure no mosey or shasshay.

Now that the Grexwalk regularly includes small kids, it tends to
be a lot slower than it used to be.

The reason comes from Euclidean geometry. They tend not to walk in
straight lines.

But, being lighter, they have a greater mean-square velocity.

With the contours in the Arb I wouldn't think Euclidean geometry
would be the best fit anyway..

Well, they also tend to be in strollers that an adult person is
pushing. They are mostly in an upright position during the break, on
the few grexwalks I've been on in the last couple of years.

I think the babies do slow down the walk, on average. There are a few
more stops, and occasionally one of the little ones does want to
actually walk a little. Dunno what exactly to do about that.

Nothing. Enjoy it. We'll meet you for lunch and get exercise on
our own.

My bank just mailed out something telling us to protect American's future by
complying with the new Patriot Act. When you open an account you now have
to provide proof of citizenship or residence. This somehow will stop the
spread of terrorism. 'According to the FTC identity theft is the
fastest-growing crime in the country. Our ability to feel safe it becoming
more difficult with terrorism and crime on a steady increase. But there is
hope...'
Somehow the Patriot Act does not make me feel safer.

Just a reminder that Saturday (tomorrow) is the annual trip to the
Dexter Cider Mill. Lunch begins at the Lighthouse Cafe in downtown
Dexter at around 12:30, we hope!

They are, however, required to check your name against a list of
suspects. One Congresswoman found this out the hard way when her
attempts to wire money to her husband were repeatedly blocked. The bank
eventually told her that his name matched one on some kind of list, but
refused to tell her more. Apparently it's secret.

"New USA Patriot Act regulations designed to thwart terrorist financing
require financial institutions to retain more personal data on their
customers and to take rigorous steps to verify their identities.
"The measures are the latest regulations that some experts say are
costing the industry hundreds of millions of dollars and increasingly
casting bankers in the uncomfortable role of beat cop in the fight
against terrorism.
"Many financial firms collect such information, but the new regulations
increase reporting requirements and require companies to step up their
procedures and recordkeeping.
"Customers who supply inaccurate birth dates, Social Security numbers or
other personal data could have their account application denied or their
funds frozen, a prospect that has added to criticism that regulations
related to the Patriot Act of 2001 go too far in prying into the
personal lives of consumers."
...
"Like Bay-Vanguard, most companies will require a driver's license or
other identification as part of the verification. Companies also must
check customer names against lists of suspected or known terrorists and
money launderers."
...
"Mroz said Bay-Vanguard has devoted dozens of staff hours to complying
with the Patriot Act. First, bank officials had to study the regulations
and formulate new policies. Then, the staff had to be trained.
"It doesn't stop there. Every time the Treasury Department puts out a
list of suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations, the bank's
security officer must manually search thousands of records to determine
whether any of the names match."
