I especially love the way you make themes out of your posts on Robot Nine. Some of those posts are just fascinating, others funny, some disturbing, but I love them all. Ooh! Also, I may as well jump the gun and tell you I'm very much looking forward to the 100 Chimps blog! Anmimal rights is more or less a passion of mine, and especially where the use of primates (or any animals) for testing is concerned. I'm aware of several primate sanctuaries, and I'm really excited about the idea behind your new blog. Excellent idea!Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-2765939942539392412008-12-12T22:35:00.000-06:002008-12-12T22:35:00.000-06:00Thanks for all the excellent commentary.<BR/><BR/>Michael, yes the Dave Kinst story is amazing, I want to get his book and read it. Two I have read that are good are Sweetgall's 'The Wlker's Journal', interesting and detailed with neat anecdotes, and Newman's 'Worldwalk', excellent writng and an amazing tale. Also 'The Long Ride' by Sumner tells of a 4 year bike journey, pretty good.<BR/><BR/>Lorrie, I was gonna walk tonight but had an omelet instead...Robot Ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-12807530060558590042008-12-12T19:17:00.000-06:002008-12-12T19:17:00.000-06:00I am inspired to dig out the pedometer!<BR/><BR/>Wait-let me surf a few more blogs, thsi feeling may pass....<BR/><BR/>:)Lorrie Veaseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05284186458837015052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-1776701455230349942008-12-12T12:22:00.000-06:002008-12-12T12:22:00.000-06:00I had no idea....I am so glad to have seen this post!

I want to see if you stop by Hong Kong, in which case I would just bombard you with a multitude of suggestions on places to go and see.<BR/><BR/>I read up on Dave Kunst. His story is truly tragic and inspirational.<BR/><BR/>Michael.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00403119049496095966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-40496579867566744582008-12-12T07:30:00.000-06:002008-12-12T07:30:00.000-06:00Argentum, the benefits of your walk could be offset by what goes on at the bar!<BR/><BR/>A'Jay, Forrest crossed my mind but he ran and this time it is all real people. I beleive Blessit claims God spoke to him and told him to do this. His book is pretty interesting, and I believe a movie may be in the works. <BR/><BR/>I also have that desire to walk away, and am taking a long trip next year, parts of it walking, but not limitied to just walking. Planes are good!<BR/><BR/>They say if the average person cut back 100 calories a day (a pat of butter) and walked 10,000 steps, I believe about 4 miles or an hour or so, they would have healthier bodies, organs, less diabetes, lose weight, with no jogging induced ankle injuries!<BR/><BR/>AlanRobot Ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-43753923786599291312008-12-12T07:22:00.000-06:002008-12-12T07:22:00.000-06:00And some people think Restless Leg Syndrome is a bad thing.Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-7295677713009965622008-12-12T06:01:00.000-06:002008-12-12T06:01:00.000-06:00I guess I'm out of their league. Sunday is my walking day. I walk to the bakery for breakfast (200m there and back), I clean house, I walk to the bar (50m there, some more back) and while there walk across the plaza to the burger trailer (approx 100m there and back depending on the route taken).<BR/><BR/>AV<BR/>http://netherregionoftheearthii.blogspot.com/<BR/>http://tomusarcanum.blogspot.com/Argentum Vulgarishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09352631648618434788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-59241002844914326932008-12-12T03:19:00.000-06:002008-12-12T03:19:00.000-06:00I was going to say you forgot Forrest, but he ran...
