Joys of Walking
" When I remarked to a friend that I was engaging in compiling an anthology on the subject of walking, he said, "I suppose the depressed state of the world has made walkers of a great many people who a few years ago were almost in danger of losing the use of their legs. It's odd , when you stop and think of it, that because of the harshness of the times and the fact that shoe leather is cheaper than gasoline that a lot of people have been driven to the discovery that walking is among the most rewarding pleasures of life' " - Edward Valentine Mitchell(E.V.M)

That would be a terrific silver lining, to come of all this. I've been observing some of the neo-pedestrians in my neighborhood, clearly not accustomed to traveling far on shanks' mare and exhibiting an interesting variety of gaits. Reminds me of John Cleese's minister of silly walks...

I've seen way more people out for walks in my neighborhood; more joggers too. A lot of them are people I've never seen out before. I have had friends texting me telling me to go outside and get some sun, since I tend to be a vampire. Seems to be doing me some good.
