walks rock
Great piece. I think the best walks are those with no destination, and no time-table to keey.. just walking for the sake of enjoying the outdoors, and seeing the sights, taking things easy. I think that feeling was really captured in this article, with the many thoughts that meander through your head on a walk as you people-watch.
To the LW who walks to work every day - I applaud you, and only wish that I had the same option. Sadly its the car for me, because I figure in life I'll be changing jobs more than changing houses, so moving just to be closer to work isnt really an option. Since I'm no longer in the snowy north though, I think I might get a motorbike/vespa to enjoy all the fun of being outside, with the ability to actually get to work :) Nothing like a fresh breeze and a zippy ride. Feel bad for everyone in the snow-lands who don't have these options (lets face it, public transport is pretty non-existant outside the major cities in the US, and most of us don't live in those cities. Also, if you've got snow, you aren't biking to work...) I think its important for people to remember to take some time outside of their cars when they can though, and enjoy wandering and exploring :)
