Today's one-liner: "The shortest way to the distinguishing excellence of any writer is through his hostile critics." Richard LeGallienne
On January 17, I started my virtual Appalachian Trail hike. Any distance based exercise counts. This includes walking, running, cycling, canoeing, elliptical or arc trainer, rowing, etc. As of the end of March, I have clocked 600.2 miles. The goal is to finish in a year. The trail is 2,190 miles long.
Two friends are doing this, too. They are both ahead of me. ... For now.
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Congrats. Keep walking. When you get to Maine. get off. I'll remove all the trail markers so you can't find your way back.

Ken, My two friends were able to sign up. I did so and paid the fee, and never got the registration data. Hence I decided against supplying a link because I am leery of this outfit.
ReplyDeleteI can do the virtual challenge without signing up for anything.
Pathfinder, It is a site with "conqueror" in its title. I lost $49 and was conquered.
