I just walked 3.4 miles in 83 degree heat while carrying 20 pounds of baggage. Took about an hour to do.
Now, on the upside of this, it’s nice to know that, despite getting nowhere near as much exercise as I should, I’m still capable of doing this almost completely without ill effects.
But, on the downside, it’s kind of odd that, despite living where I have for 14 years, and despite the fact that I can probably find a place to stay on at least 5 continents at all times, I wasn’t able to think of anyone who lives near here who’d be able to give me a 10 minute ride at 12:30 in the afternoon on a weekday without disturbing their sleep or somesuch.
I find it kind of profound that I have tons of friends all over the world, and almost none in the town where I receive mail. I’m not sure if that one’s me or the town.
