Although my own mobility does require some extra bottled water. Us humans are oafs in our cars Rain is not and has never been a show-stopper We are slobs, discarding stuff on roads Sidewalks are nice Us humans are physical units, not computers If I decide to do a through-hike of the Appalachian trail (in a respectable time), I think I ...
