Wouldn't writing a physical letter (ideally in longhand, but I suppose a print out from a PC breaks the metaphor at least a little less than email) and posting it to a local paper be more appropriate?

(That said, at least neither you nor jlf are tweeting about it, I suppose...)

The local shelter has started a program where you can take shelter dogs for a walk while you hunt Pokemon.


Yes! Quite a few shelters have started this!
I use an app called "walk for a dog" and it donated to shelters depending on your mileage. They've started encouraging users to turn it on when hunting Pokemon!

My dog has been thrilled with our Pokemon walks.

Personally- I love it and am unashamed of my Pokemon enjoyment- everyone who wants to hate on it can- but I don't see why something that gets me outside even more than I was (we walk a lot anyways), allows me to relive and revel in childhood memories can really be so terrible.

This. (and thank you.)
Some of the crap that's been spouted about this game, you'd think the media didn't want anybody to be given an incentive to go for a walk, wouldn't you?

About a year ago, M got turned on to a game called Ingress - which is essentially Pokemon for guys that like tactical games. You go around finding portals and trying to take them over from your enemies.

I take my dog to a huge park every evening and suddenly it's choked with Pokemon players. Some are walking dogs and entirely ignoring said dogs and what they're doing; ignoring traffic, passing cars, etc. I think humans have finite attention capacity and that game takes up almost all of theirs. I can't wait till that game fades away.
