Bloomingtonian Walking, I Miss You!

Tourism, in many cases, involves walking. Walking through museums, walking up the stairs to the tops of monuments, walking down scenic paths or through historic or architectually fascinating districts. I'm not even entirely sure how tourism without walking goes, unless it involves laying in chaise lounges next to pools and only walking 20 feet to a hotel room or 6 feet to the pool. I'm receiving a good primer though; anytime I suggest walking in relation to any activity, one of my employers says, "Can't we drive instead?" I'm not referring to 40-minute uphill hikes, I'm rather referring to short pretty strolls not lasting longer than 20 minutes.

Stairs in Trinidad on the California Coast to walk along the scenic Indian Beach?
Done, but with much complaining.
A promenade through the Victorian seaside district in Eureka?
No.
The downtown of Ashland, Oregon?
No.
A short hike through any part of the redwood forests surrounding 101?
No.
Getting out of the car for more than five minutes in Oregon along the 101 to enjoy the fresh air off of the ocean?
No.
I wonder how they managed downtown San Francisco, where they surely could not drive everywhere. Hell, these are even guys that claim to enjoy hiking and rafting among other outdoorsy activities. My legs feel frozen into 90-degree angles from sitting in the car for hours without any breaks to stretch, and then proceeding directly into restaurants. Often, with a five-minute moment after four hours in the car, they'll offer me a seat on a park bench or the like, which I politely refuse. My muscles are beginning to atrophy.
Their vacation though; they're entitled to do exactly as they please, regardless of how ridiculous and/or wasteful and/or corner-cutting it may seem.
[But to stop at Dairy Queen for a coffee?! Come on...]

Adventures in the Northwest

Project: Explain, in both standard English definitions and as applicable to dry eyes, the text on the Visine box that reads "irritation relief". Also, present an analysis as to why blue box is superior to the red box.
Complication: Your student speaks Turkish as a first language, and in spite of having an excellent grasp of grammatical mechanics of the English language, has missed a nuance or two along the way.

Also, deliver a lecture on the politics of the U.S. towards Native Americans from the 1800s to present, explaining reservation culture and tricksy tactics as well as the rise of the casino. Do so while watching said student attempt to drive you and the Buick Escalade off of several cliffs and into redwood trees. Do not use complicated grammar constructions.

Secondarily: Do not wince at the sixtieth homophobic comment made in reference to San Francisco. Do not protest at the recurring stream of misogynist and disrespectful commentary directed towards women. Explain the finer details of the idiomatic phrase, "to get lucky". Conjugate in context.
