Just pleasant




"There are some good things to be said about walking. Walking takes longer, for example, than any other known form of locomotion except crawling. Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed. I have a friend who's always in a hurry; he never gets anywhere. Walking makes the world much bigger and thus more interesting. You have time to observe the details. The utopian technologists foresee a future for us in which distance is annihilated and anyone can transport himself anywhere, instantly. Big deal, Buckminster. To be everywhere at once is
 to be nowhere forever, if you ask me."
- Edward Abbey

Tweet that.

Duly tweeted. Both the shot and the quote improved my mood significantly, so forwarding this post is the least I could do.
