Tommy Hardesty: Walks Sidewalk every day, and observes 2017-09-24 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Tommy Hardesty of Gradyville, KY was enjoying a morning cup of coffee from McDonald's this morning. Usually it's part of his morning walk from the restaurant to and around the square, and back to McDonald's. Sunday morning, 24 Sep 2017, he had already done that and had returned on his "udden-udden," his pet name for his motorcycle. (He's a walking encycllopedia of TV series, failed to ask him if "udden-udden" was from one of those). Asked about sidewalk safety, Hardesty said he had neither had a close call with a motor vehicle at a crossing or a problem with tripping hazards, but he has had two incidents on his motorcycle: Once when a vehicle bumped it from behind when he was circling the Square, and another time when a vehicle from Burkesville Street (the famously dangerous crossing) and bumped him again. His statement on tripping hazards was in agreement with another pedestrian, who noted that one has to walk a lot and "pick up your feet," not to have falls. Still, there remain many tripping problems reported by others, some very, very mindful and quite agile, but more particularly by older people and those not in great condition who benefit from walking more than anyone. - EW Permalink | Comments?
