A few more ways to have walked the path-ology
((the study of various paths)
of Mark Twain:

You have changed residence by walking from one town to another.

You know the river talks and you can talk back and be understood.
But the river talks better than it listens.

You smoked away a few years editing a newspaper in a flat,
 high-altitude, historic Old West city founded on a windy, bare-looking
campsite.

Your estimation of humankind is cheerful because you begin with the
 assumption that human beings are fallen (though less impulsive) apes
 . . . and sometimes, despite your precaution, they disappoint you anyway.


You imagine yourself travelling the speed of light, or nearly.  Or amore.
