Walkin' Blues
Muscovites either walk incredibly fast or at turtle speed. I guess there is a certain logic in this, if you're in a hurry, you're in a hurry, and if you've got plenty of time, why waste energy. However, it seems that Muscovites have about two gears lower than I do, and I can manage quite the leisurely stroll when I want to, and I'm still lapping them. Quite the obstacle course on the crowded streets of the center of town. Or perhaps it's similar to George Carlin's observations about driving speeds - that you yourself are the only person on the road driving at the correct speed: "Look at this idiot, just look at this idiot, just creeping along. Whoooa..look at that maniac go!"

I WOULD LIKE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON YOUR PEDESTRIAL OBSERVATIONS. THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE IN RUSSIA, ONE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE GOULOGS AND THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO STAY OUT OF THEM. YOU CAN IDENTIFY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN BY THEIR SLOW NATURE ON THE SIDEWALKS DUE TO HAVING THEIR FOREFOOT CUT OFF WHILE IN PRISON. THUS, THE ONES WHO HAVE NOT BEEN IN ARE WALKING VERY SWIFTLY TO AVOID CAPTURE. DO YOU HAVE BOTH OF YOUR FEET STILL?
