I started walkin’ and talkin’ two years ago today. <\/p>\n

Today’s photo:
\n\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The photo pole. I brace the phone against that post and take the picture from the same place every day. The snow hides the path I’ve worn into the soil. <\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The long western reach. The noisiest and busiest part of the walk.<\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The corner that marks the halfway point. When I walk by that stop sign and head into the neighborhood, I start the recorder. <\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

Heavy brick walls on both sides of the curved roads help block the wind most days. No yappy dogs out this morning.<\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The intersection that gives me the most trouble each day. Three way stop and there’s almost always one or more cars when I try to cross. <\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The long eastern reach. Almost a half mule due east…it runs parallel to the western reach above but this one has only residential streets.<\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The Monk Pole — it’s the one in the middle. <\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The Park. At the end of the eastern reach, I turn north and walk along the edge of this park. <\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

The back gate that marks the end of my walk. Two miles around. <\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

Tomorrow is another day and with any luck at all, I’ll talk to you then.<\/p>\n

\"#tommw<\/a><\/p>\n

You can’t really see the ice in my beard, even in the bright sun, but every single hair on my face was covered with ice. I needed a towel when I got inside and it started to melt.

\nThanks again to all of you who walk with me each day. You keep me honest and make me think.<\/p>\n
