These boots are made for walking….do you know this song? Have you ever tried…to walk? I do…every day! I am a member of the (seemingly) small group of those, who do not have a car! So I have to do my errands by feet. And I really enjoy it, especially when the weather is as nice as this fall!
But – and I am really sorry that there is a “but” – the wonderful experience is (almost) always diminished by the fact that there are no pedestrian crossings. Right now I am in North Carolina, a really beautiful state. When I arrived I was quite impressed: they have walkways! Not for long, because soon I had to learn that they all end a couple of feed away from crossings. Seriously? What were the ones who plan towns thinking? That we spread our wings and fly over the crossing?
I eventually found my tactic to cross busy roads, but I am always scared that one of the drivers who text or speak on the phone didn’t pay attention and run me over!
Nevertheless, try it and enjoy a brisk walk in this beautiful weather…just be careful and stay safe!
