Health and Cherry Blossoms

This is a really nice, smart idea. Office of Personnel Management Director has said that employees at the agency's headquarters can have an hour off to walk down to the tidal basin from April 1 to April 4 to see the city's famous cherry trees in full blossom. Obviously, they've got to get supervisor approval, and being able to go depends on their workflow. But tying fitness to a popular and pretty event is a good incentive, and also, frankly a fun, considerate thing to do.
