stairs - cool video

this is old, but new to me (SIL shared it with me). by making it fun, people chose to take the stairs vs. the escalator right next to it:

How fun! I am one that usually takes the stairs. Or, if I take the escalator, I'm still walking up the steps. I also park far away from the store to get in more steps.

This is me too. One thing I've learned is that by parking slightly further away, you avoid the traffic jam type crush that happens in the first few rows of parking spaces.

Sure, I take a few more footsteps, but then I get to just hop in my car and drive away, instead of having to wait for space to maneuver around all the cars and people.

Traffic accidents seem less likely too. Can't count how many times I've seen people back into each other in their rush to get out.
