I walk. 20,000 steps a day. I have walked every street in my town of under 10,000. At first I did it for fitness. Now it is so much more than that. My clarity of mind is never clearer then when I am walking, often predawn. With the moon and stars and the silence of a rural town. I've fought the City I live in more than once. At the top of the list asking for clarification if I could have chickens.
Heaven forbid I follow laws. The city wasn't clear on if I could or could not own chickens. So I asked. Shit storm. Not only did the City Council paass laws saying I couldn't own chickens, I can't also own komodo dragons or peacocks.
Never thought I'd be kind of a single issue dude but here were are. Sidewalks.
I don't have sidewalks.
I've mentioned to people that live around me my desire. They tell me we are "poor" and not considered high on the list. I explain I am a walker, I know for a fact our houses are valued about the highest in the city. I want fucking sidewalks.
Another fight engaged.
