Surprising how high my heart rate gets during these kettlebell workouts

So, a bit related to my post the other day about the hinterlands. One thing that has surprised me about Scranton is how many millenials I have met who have decided to move here.

I met a cyclist while I was out on my bike yesterday who moved here from upstate NY. He and his fiancee just bought a house here. At the bike shop I go to, there's a mechanic from Vail who has been living here for a few years with her boyfriend. I've taken a few uber rides (pre-pandemic) with drivers who had left NYC and NJ.

All millennials and all had at least one reason in common: it's just too expensive everywhere else.

There are also many people from here who moved away and then moved back.

Of course, if all the remote workers decide to come out here, its attractive affordability will disappear. But there's certainly plenty of space for newcomers before that happens.

Interesting to observe these larger national trends at local levels.

Body is feeling tired from all the new training. Good stuff.

I also just want to put this out there:

I've had a bean-based diet since before it was cool.
