Walking Commentary
Thoughts and cycling from Manchester to Rome in 2023
What’s the opportunity cost of watching TV? What alternative benefits are lost when one activity is chosen over another?
How do you value an opportunity lost when talking advantage of another?
About a year ago, while walking around London, I saw snails massing on the tarmac path in the rain. A short time later, I saw a shrew on the pavement by my feet. The little shrew then left the pavement to walk across the road only to be clipped by a passing car.
I wondered if it was my fault. Had the shrew fled from me? Then again I didn’t build the road, I didn’t build the car. I had just walked and encountered the shrew.
