I am a mature adult! I think. . . So how is it that I just got sucked into a new walking game? I'm thinking my FitBit became a little too boring and all my friends that I started walking with have "broken" theirs. So, out comes the phone and on comes the App called PokemonGo! What happens next? Well, the game has a map of wherever I happen to be. Creepy much? I found it quite impressive. So, I was at home walking in my neighborhood. I was getting more Poke Balls at a maze near my home (otherwise known as a Poke Stop) and there were three other people on the street. I assume we were all doing the same thing - reloading our game. All four of us were staring at our phone like the total geeks that we are! Then my walking buddy (daughter) and I realized Pikachu was nearby. We immediately started tracking him. Because who doesn't want a Pikachu, right? We realized the guy at the Poke Stop started following us. We giggled. Yep, my maturity is down the tubes! I have lost all common sense. BUT I am out on my feet walking around. So, my take is PokemonGo has found a way to get the gaming geeks out into a public area and some may even talk to each other as they try to 'catch them all'. Side note: It is truly unfair to put all the good stuff out on the sundial bridge in Redding, CA! We were traveling and made a stop to cross this cool bridge. I will mention the thing is made of glass. My vertigo would not allow me to cross it. So, no refills in Redding for me. That is just so wrong!
