BBC News - The slow death of purposeless walking

I enjoy walking, being outdoors. You? Do you like to walk and pray?

I like to take my dog for a walk. She is a slow walker, sniffing every patch of grass so it feels purposeless. It's more of a mosey then a walk. Maybe a saunter. I have always prayed while I walked. I used to do a walking meditation of sorts where each step was a breath in or out. Now that was a slow walk.

I walk with a purpose even if my mind wanders aimlessly.

No, I don't like the outdoors. The only place I enjoy walking around is inside the virtual world of Starcraft, but haven't done that in months because I'm busy.

I can't imagine not wanting to be outdoors. I even like to walk in the rain or take the dog out in a snowstorm wearing shorts!

Crazy Canadian! you may think...and it's probably true.

I'm also from a place up north, but not North America. I do have relatives (one family) living the U.S. All my adult life since I was 15 I've enjoyed either walking or bicycling or both:

yes sir. the wife cooks them, she uses panko breading, dipp the filet in a well beaten egg, then coats it with panko, fries it in a cast iron skillet with lard

 

[JM]

Lard...I'll try that.

 

[JoshuaDaryl]

Lard...I'll try that.

Nice Bass, I always thought we should have church while fishing
Jesus and the Apostles did

Thanks man. That's a Fresh Water Drum. No good eating but good fun catching.

thought bass just must be ugly in Canada , I have seen them in books, drum, aint never caught one, dont river fish because unlike most of your Canadian rivers, the US thinks ours are sewers

 

[JM]

We are lucky...the Thames is just a few blocks away from my house and the fish are safe to eat. Everything from bass to pickerel.

 

[JoshuaDaryl]

our rivers produce interesting fish, some glow, have two heads, three tails, all kinds of cool stuff. The fish and wildlife post a bulletin every year on US rivers, telling you that pregnant woman and small children should not eat from them, everyone else if you prepare it a certain way and eat no more than a few ounces you will be ok what the.....
