That was a new one for me, thank you kindly. It's Bradbury through and through, felt like a companion work to Fahrenheit 451. Can't decide whether to think of it as a prequel or a sequel...

He died at the age of 42.

You have very different walkers in your neighborhood than I have in mine

Or, they already are homeless.

The absolute best time for you to walk is when you're exhausted after working. Trust me, try it.

Unironically I feel this helps when I am contributing to OSM.

have you considered unaging ?

It's not as bad if you walk 'off trail' in cities/suburbs. I'm convinced that a lot of the Runner's Knees has to do with pounding cardio on hard-packed Earth, asphalt and concrete instead of forested/green areas.

Do you even squat, bro?

Lose a little weight, get good shoes, gentle stretches before walking, see a doctor to make sure you're not doing actual damage. Maybe try walking on dirt/sand/grass too, asphalt and concrete are rough on your body.

What good are legs if you can't even walk?

Walks are so good for anxiety - some light exercise, a little bit of sun, time to collect your thoughts without screens or distractions. It's sort of meditative.

My idea of a good walk is weather cool enough to wear jeans and combat boots, and a fight to get through the forest and find new spots on the creek, or new spots in general. Huge bonus if I get some wildlife in my sights. Saw a black bear momma with two cubs last winter!

I'm at maximum peace when I crawl out, safe and sound, about to drop dead and thank god I'm still alive, hydrated, and didn't get hurt or stuck overnight.

My wife likes your sort of walk, and I would too, now and again. We walk around the hood, far more boring than your walks. :)

I think this is the goal of most true “adventurer” tropes. The moniker is genericized and relates to someone who gets in a lot of fights now, but its original meaning is someone that I picture is eager to explore new lands, with nary a luxury to them, relying on the kindness of people he meets, and exchanging useful tricks and information he’s come across.
