   The idea of hiking/cycling/walking being antidepressant may seem far-   
   fetched but that's exactly what this study on HAPPINESS says we need.   
      
   http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p004kln9   
      
   The program says we need NATURE, ENGAGING ACTIVITY & RESPITE. Not easy   
   to find around here, but I'm doing the best of a path by the beach   
   where I ride my bike without conflict. It often places me on the wrong   
   path --bike lane facing traffic-- when the wind blows too hard coming   
   back, not a place where I'd like to see kids ride.   
      
   Contrary to NRA belief, happiness is not a warm gun.
