Nature's nice and all, but there's something fun about taking a prurient interest in the goings-on in a high-density population zone. I don't miss the noise, though.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-1159067302966626002006-09-23T23:08:00.000-04:002006-09-23T23:08:00.000-04:00DV - oh yeah, there WERE banjos, I am sure...I gue...DV - oh yeah, there WERE banjos, I am sure...<BR/><BR/>I guess I just am plain sick of cities..big ones anyway.Cowtown Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384649567351202679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-1158939100841858932006-09-22T11:31:00.000-04:002006-09-22T11:31:00.000-04:00CP, If I can make a correction on your comment.Wal...<B>CP</B>, If I can make a correction on your comment.<BR/>Walking in the city, be it NYC, Philly, Montreal, Florence, Rome, Zagreb, etc. has almost always been a pleasant experience. Even biking in some of those cities has been great (the thrill of zooming down Mount Royal passing cars on the right still gives me goosepimples). I have no problems with walking or jogging or running in a city. It's the 'burbs and that 'burb/country set-up (you know the type, houses only 20-30 feet form the street and no sidewalks) that have always been a pain. I used to walk in the country in when I lived in North Carolina; not a smart thing to do. I actually had some klemdiggityhopper slam on his brakes, jump out of his pickup, pull a gun off his rack and tell me I had no right to be jogging on his road sice I didn't pay taxes. No, there were no banjoes palying in the background.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-1158936068744559892006-09-22T10:41:00.000-04:002006-09-22T10:41:00.000-04:00Walking in the city or the 'burbs is just as DV ma...Walking in the city or the 'burbs is just as DV man describes.

This being a very small town, the proper etiquette is for me to lift a hand in assumed recognition of the motorist's identity. By the time we can see the whites of each other's eyes, I usually know (kind of) who they are.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-1158929676728272102006-09-22T08:54:00.000-04:002006-09-22T08:54:00.000-04:00In pursuit of the ever-vanishing slimmer version o...In pursuit of the ever-vanishing slimmer version of me, I've taken to walking the streets, well more like the ditches, of the rural community where I work. There are also fields of corn, as well as soybeans, present here, although the fields of plenty now usually refer to plenty of <B>houses</B> rather than <B>vegetables</B>. All this is leading up to an inevitable question.<BR/><BR/>As you stroll around the outskirts of the fields, do you ever have motorists, already irate from the harangue of early morning cellphone calls, beeping at you with malintent? Or even swerving in your direction, identifying your morning jaunt as an act that should be expunged? I ask this, as this has happened to me on quite a few occassions. Enough such that lunch-time walking is dangerous for my health. Are auto-bound folks in your neck of the woods more understanding of those fellow inhabitants motoring about on jsut their feet?<BR/><BR/>Just wondering.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.com
