How many sidewalks have I walked in my life? Is it weird to think that if I had been born two hundred years earlier, I wouldn't have walked on any sidewalks, especially if I had been born in the same area, which was basically rural until the early 20th century?
Instead, sidewalks were everywhere when I turned up. Sidewalks in front of the schools I attended, sidewalks along the roads I wandered when I was a kid, sidewalks in the neighborhood where I've walked my dogs. In fact, sidewalks are so ubiquitous that it's crazy that I live in a neighborhood now without sidewalks.
Perhaps that's the reason that this week's show was about sidewalks - an attempt to have some sidewalks, even virtual, in the neighborhood. If I knew how to made a sidewalk, & I'm not sure I really want to know that, I'd seriously consider putting a sidewalk in front of my house, passive-aggressively ending the lonesome concrete at the property line. One person in our neighborhood has actually done that, but his or her house is at the corner, so it doesn't seem so spiteful.
Anyway, here's this week's show, now at the Self Help Radio website. You know about the username/password situation, right? The info's on the page. The show is in two mostly-equal parts, each about an hour long, & what's in the parts, including the interviews, is listed below.
