Especially over the same period of time. Number one. Number two, truman was famous for being a walker. Every day he took his constitutional. Referring to the speed of the pedestrians in the competitive races, i think, and its hard to tell, we have no photographs much less moving pictures. Its a shame. Still the age of line drawings and engravings. The way people described westins walk sounds similar to what race walking is today. They said he had a wobbly walk, that he moved his hips. He swung h...

The packard car company, which said you could go 300 miles in a day. I guess he was desperate for ads because he did not like cars. Westin did not like cars just because he thought they made people walk less. Ironically, westin in 1927, was crossing a street in manhattan and was hit by a car and was left crippled and never walked again and died two years later at the age of 90. Oleary fareed a little better. He would stage walking exhibitions before Major League Baseball games. He would go out a...

He was the last president to become a regular citizen again in a way, and so on this trip they stayed at hotels, an...

But two of the pedestrians, Edward Westin and Daniel Oleary they continued to stage walking expeditions well into their 80s. We...

Cspans sundays at 8 00. I always knew there was a risk in the bohemian lifestyle and i decided to take it and whether its an illusion or not, i dont think it is, it helped my concentration. It stopped me being bored. Stopped other people being boring to some extent. It would keep me awake. Make me want the evening to go on longer, to enhance the moment.
