I ran into my "friend" again on my walk along the Beltline. I hadn't seen him since the day before when he walked away angry after I told him he was pronouncing "Kamala" wrong.
He was walking towards me and in an attempt to be friendly, to show that there were no hard feelings, I broke onto a big, broad smile and pointed him out. Lest pointing be misconstrued to be aggressive or somehow insulting, I then lifted my hand and flashed him a peace sign.
Apparently, there still are hard feelings. "Just leave it at that," he said as he walked past me. "Just leave it at that."
My total walking mileage since the beginning of the year is now 762 miles. A circle drawn around my house with a diameter of 762 miles would take in Dallas and Houston, would intersect Green Bay, Wisconsin and Traverse City, Michigan, encompass all five boroughs of New York City, and extend south all the way to Havana, Cuba. Four nations are now included in my ever-expanding circle: the United States, Canada, Bahamas, and Cuba, but the circle still hasn't reached the Mexican border;.it may hit the Yucatan before it gets to Matamoras on the Texas-Mexico border. I've been averaging 2.4 miles/day this year, but since I actually walk every other day, that's an average of 4.8 miles per hike. Yesterday, I walked seven.
