“Just walking, Mr. Mead?”
“Yes.”
“But you haven’t explained for what purpose.”
“I explained; for air, and to see, and just to walk.”
“Have you done this often?”
“Every night for years.”
The police car sat in the center of the street with its radio throat faintly humming.
“Well, Mr. Mead,” it said.
“Is that all?” he asked politely.
“Yes,” said the voice. “Here.” There was a sigh, a pop. The back door of the police car sprang wide. "Get in.”
“Wait a minute, I haven’t done anything!”
“Get in.”
Thanks for the read!
I once walked 20 Kilometers, then I was tired, so I walked back.
Everyday
- everyday: mundane, usual
- every day: daily
I think OOP is in the wrong lane.
We have this guy in our community! All day every day just walks all over. I know nothing about him but he walks and mumbles to himself
I’m that guy, but I stick to the surrounding forests and trails, mumbling to myself, scaring off the animals. Since we humans so rarely encounter one another out there, I suspect I’m something of a goddamned samsquatch.
“Little guy, looks like a tacticool homeless man? Always armed? Crawls up out the woodwork when you don’t expect him? Yeah! I saw him once! Didn’t really seem drunk, but he was waving his beer around and holding forth on the local ecosystems.”
“That’s the guy!”
It’s maybe me I’m a big walker
- Has so much money he can walk all day without becoming homeless.
The absolute best time for you to walk is when you’re exhausted after working. Trust me, try it.
You have very different walkers in your neighborhood than I have in mine
Or, they already are homeless.
Meanwhile my knees: AHHHHHHHHH
Not relatable? Just a me problem?
What good are legs if you can’t even walk?
Do you even squat, bro?
have you considered unaging ?
Lose a little weight, get good shoes, gentle stretches before walking, see a doctor to make sure you’re not doing actual damage. Maybe try walking on dirt/sand/grass too, asphalt and concrete are rough on your body.
It’s not as bad if you walk ‘off trail’ in cities/suburbs. I’m convinced that a lot of the Runner’s Knees has to do with pounding cardio on hard-packed Earth, asphalt and concrete instead of forested/green areas.
Beach here, my knees don’t hurt no.
Yeah, I can even notice the difference when doing plyometrics on my wooden living room floor versus on the tiles in the garden (the lawn is very shitty and can’t take it).
The lawn, I feel that pain. Field sports on a dry pitch is a little like doing it on stone once it dries out enough due to lack of rain, that shit can really hurt, even without getting tackled down onto it lol
I do love a good walk.
My two favourite are a beautiful hill/mountain walk in the sun with a light breeze to keep me cool or at night through a sleepy town or village with a light fog where the orange streetlights shine through.
Both are so peaceful, it helps calm my anxiety.
My idea of a good walk is weather cool enough to wear jeans and combat boots, and a fight to get through the forest and find new spots on the creek, or new spots in general. Huge bonus if I get some wildlife in my sights. Saw a black bear momma with two cubs last winter!
I’m at maximum peace when I crawl out, safe and sound, about to drop dead and thank god I’m still alive, hydrated, and didn’t get hurt or stuck overnight.
My wife likes your sort of walk, and I would too, now and again. We walk around the hood, far more boring than your walks. :)
Walks are so good for anxiety - some light exercise, a little bit of sun, time to collect your thoughts without screens or distractions. It’s sort of meditative.
Don’t forget that your odds of finding and petting the roving neighbourhood cats increases as you walk more vs. driving.
And the potential for finding loot.
I’ve found neat things on the side of the road by walking around my home, ranging from brass knuckles to a case with 3 Nintendo Switch cartridges inside. I tried to find the owner of the games (probably a kid who dropped it when getting off the school bus) but was unable to.
My wife and I sometimes cruise the hood looking for goodies on the side of the road. I could go on forever with what all we’ve dragged home.
Got a nice radiant stove a few months back, all but new, very clean. One night we scored a brand new wine fridge, huge one, along with a nice solid-wood desk for my son and a brand new countertop oven, never used.
LOL, she often hits the flea market and drags home $200+ on a Saturday with all the crap we find. I’m thinking of going all in since I can’t find an IT job.
I like the cut of your jib. The real gems I’ve found were literally that, rings and earrings of varying quality/value. I credit video games for the habit, it always pays dividends finding random partially-concealed valuables on the ground. This doesn’t even count the number of (rarely) full/half-full packs of cigarettes, which sometimes contain other substances from nugs to hash and beyond.
Agreed. I can find it hard but I try to not use headphones to listen to music or an audiobook every time I go for a walk. I’m trying to get myself comfortable with my own thoughts and let them wash over me so my brain can eventually calm and relax without distraction.
Just let the walk itself be the gentle stimulation.
Good song by Fitz and the Tantrums
Even shitposts are too much effort to make by oneself nowadays, huh?
Need AI to do even that.

AI slop (partly)?
I’m not sure. There’s just no joke. It could be that’s the joke. Or maybe it was made by someone who really likes walking.
And what’s this?
And how the fuck is the text formatted?
A glimpse into the reality that AI has zero understanding of what things actually are, it’s only a machine designed to make really good guesses. So good that it seems eerily “alive” at times, but that’s just because we’re dumber and simpler than we think.
It doesn’t know what words are in images, it just knows how they’re roughly supposed to look. It’s gotten good at not just guessing a bunch of vaguely “letterish looking stuff” but it still makes mistakes. For now.
Something I just read past, apparently!
As one does.
My thoughts, too. The body of the guy might be generated, because no human being would draw side pockets on a t-shirt.
On the other hand, drawing pockets somewhere because you just realized that the way you drew the arm means the hands wont reach the pants, and you really don’t feel like trying to draw a hand, is something a human might do.
Since we are doing hand puns, you’re reaching.
No, it’s just not that funny.
Miss long walks terribly. I used to walk everywhere.
what happened? why’d you stop?
Physical problems. Walking long distances is painful anymore.
sorry to hear that. i wish you good health and for you to continue going on journeys and adventures in your own ways🫶
No idea what your problems are, but not walking can make shit worse. Ex-wife’s mom was already fat, crushed her ankle in a car wreck, went sessile, died at 500lbs. with her heart the size of a basketball.
I got what my doctor calls “emphysema light”. Doesn’t stop me from doing what I want to do, but every day off is a step back.
Good luck man. We’re all doing what we can do.
Walking zazen.
♥️
