Walking

[william1993]

I am a hard-walking Negro. Them two things attached to the bottom of my thighs have seen a lot of work. I use that as my primary mode of transportation because I don't need gas money. For example, today, I walked from my friend's place on my campus to my apartment, which is like 3 or so miles and it took me 40 minutes. I was hot when I got there. I just wonder, who else allez-à pied as their primary mode of transportation?

I did a ton in college. Penn State campus was pretty large and I would walk everywhere. Now it's more just taking the dogs out. Work is too far. Some stores are close enough. Ride my bike to the pool.

Right now we got a lot of wind and rain in Jersey. Should get interesting tonight. But my daughter and myself took a walk in the creek. Usually comes up to our ankles, it was up to our thighs today.

Yes. I heard of the hurricane. I also heard how one of my friends told me the east coast folks are immoral so god is punishing them. That is an incredibly stupid statement. Be safe up there Norb and don't get washed away!

Stupid indeed. Every time something like this happens (earthquake, hurricane, tornado) the wacko's are going to come out and say we're being punished.

You guys are right. I remember the same thing being said about New Orleans and Katrina.

I ride a bike or a horse. Walk when I have to. I can swim better than I can walk. I don't know how to run, unless there is something chasing me.

[william1993]

You have a horse?!

of course

This sounds like the beginning of a song my mama used to tell me, and it always ended, with "and he died"

I rather preferred a bike for that campus, but only because they actually keep the paths outside campus plowed during the winter. Living on campus facilitates walking rather moreso on most campuses. Most college campuses are absolute nightmares for drivers, especially if you don't want to pay a steep premium to park somewhere half decent. On the campuses I can think of, if not for shuttles, drivers would actually end up walking further than anyone :pinch:

Can't say anyone could hardly pay me to walk on a Texas campus these days unless absolutely necessary.
