| 0:00.0 | Today's 10 minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent. |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk. |
| 0:11.0 | So the other day I was out walking was actually not too far from where I am right now. |
| 0:18.0 | Walking along a main road through the community where we live. |
| 0:25.4 | It is early in the morning. |

| 2:01.6 | And he looked up, and I could tell he was startled. |
