Morning Jack. A wonderful Talking to America. I love to walk and I know that Kate does all the time. Edward Payson Weston was amazing and amazing how many miles this man walked in his 90 years. WOW!!! He definitely kept on the move.
Theoretically inspiring. If he walked in the outfits in the photos, I'd be amazed, especially those shoes. Way before .Adidas was invented and Dr. Scholl's started out. Not that I could replicate his feats, no pun intended, even with the right shoes and foot care stuff available today.
I was talking to someone about how much I walk, which is not much. living in the country among the car culture walking is limited. I walked much more in NYC.
Fascinating. Thanks, Jack. I think I'll take a stroll in Poet's Walk.
I've always been and crawling enthusiast. Gotta have really good knee pads, though
Samuel Beckett said almost the exact same thing.
Glad to know I was in good company...or was i
Yes. From MOLLOY:
And I still remember the
day when, flat on my face by way of rest, in defiance of the rules,
I suddenly cried, striking my brow, Christ, there’s crawling, I never
thought of that. But could I crawl, with my legs in such a state, and
my trunk? And my head. But before I go on, a word about the
forest murmurs.
The movie, Greaser"s Palace had a crawl scene..along with much more outrageous scenes. Made by Robert Doeney Jr's dad in North Carolina I believe.

Hmm, must be Forrest Gump's Great Granddaddy! Fun article Jack.
Going to share wth a former walking partner and a hopefully new walking partner.
Inspired by your article today.
Thank you.
I try to get out and walk when I can, though the danger of the car culture is discouraging. I find it true that it spurs thinking.
Lucky I live on a small road around a small lake. Also go to Wilcox Park.
I wouldny try walking on any of our town Routes.
This piece was indeed fascinating and inspiring. Great job Jack!
