32.8 miles - - a "Miles for Millions" walkathon when I was in grade 9.

that's impressive, paradox3

35 km, on my nature walks.

"A journey of a thousand miles is one step."

-Lao Tsu 

I've walked thousands of miles in the past...just not all at once. It's taken my lifetime to travel that far. :)

How far do you think a person walks, on average, in a day, even if they don't intentionally go anywhere on foot? Eg. At home, at work, to the car, to the bus stop, in the supermarket?

wow, that's more 'n 1/2 way to kelowna, distance-wise :3

back-of-the-envelope:  calculate average walking speed (~5 km/hour?) x hours spent walking = distance

Night walkers do it in silence

West end walkers do it with a friend

North shore walkers do it with caviar

Surrey walkers do it very hotly

Richmond walkers can walk forever...

Hard to say. I've done some fairly long walks and hikes when travelling over the years but I have never really put in the effort to measure them.

a park?  a couple of parks?  a street?  a couple of neighbourhoods? a city?  two thickets?   through two romances (which might be either quite long or short, depending...)? long enough to listen through the entire Pink Floyd ouvre?  long enough to come to grok both the meaninglessness and deeply meaningful nature of existence?

and so forth?

My longest walk was also a fundraising walkathon. I was a teenager and I went into it with a friend. It was about a 20 mile walk. My Dad drove us out the highway to where the walk started and then you walked into town. We started at 8 in the morning and I rememeber it being late afternoon when we finished. We took snacks with us and at the end you got a hamburger and a drink. We were tired. I don't remember getting blisters or anything. There were people in cars picking walkers up who couldn't finish and there were water stations along the way. I can still vividly picture in my mind various spots on the walk.

I'm not really sure, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was shorter than many.  Long walks usually occured in a provincial park, the foothills or the mountains.  With all the up and down and in some cases a real elevation gain it would have been more time consuming than a long walk in a fairly flat area.

Remember Wolfie. Didn't he say that he walked across Canada at least once.

Up one of the longer uphill (ie. up a small mountain) trails in Banff National Park (I was younger then). Exploring the Nanjing Road shopping district of Shanghai on foot. Walked around London, England for a couple days.

mmm, nothing like a long walk to get the blood pumping

mmmmmm, EXOTIC places to walk :3

i don't recall...

he MUST be part indian; i recall reading aboot older games similar to lacrosse where indians would play over areas that could be several kms long...now that's hard core

so, ever walked in one go, through more than one town/city/municipality/mountain/park/forest?

I walked a lot when I lived in Waterton Lakes NP for four summers.  I wouldn't know distances in kms, but each hike was just about the right length to walk off a hangover.

Now to something more interesting: the time length of the moment. How long is a moment?

I think it is the time interval between cause and effect. It can be as long as millions of years, or as short as a fraction of a nanosecond, depending on the cause and effect.

We are still implicated in the ultimate cosmic moment. It began with the original cosmic cause and ends with the final cosmic effect.

So, next time someone says "wait a moment," ask them "which moment?"

:3

ah, so that explains how hard-working hill folk can drink 3 kegs and keep on going

there is ICE on Kal lake!!!

my brother said he saw a hibernating turtle at the bottom of one of the lakes

those are awesome moments

"Hill. Yes, that was it. But it is a hasty word for a thing that has stood here ever since this part of the world was shaped."

Yes, Inna, both the North Bay and the South Bay of Kal Lake are frozen over, but the main body of the lake is open. Wood Lake, Ellison Lake, Swan Lake, and the North Arm of Okanagan Lake are frozen over.

But the time interval between freeze-up and break-up is just a moment. That makes Canadian winters easy to bear, eh?
