"Rediscovering Beauty in the Alleys"

The speaker expresses a preference for the diversity and unpredictability of alleys compared to paved streets, highlighting the organic shapes and structures found there. Overall, the walk improved the speaker's mood, and they reflect on the positive effects of movement. The speaker also mentions the possibility of doing more work and appreciating the sunset.

Transcript: For a pretty long walk outside. Let me see if I have some stats on it to qualify that statement. Solid seven-ish miles. Mostly like off the neighborhood path, so more on the trails. But then the way back was more in alleys and along the back streets of the neighborhoods, which was really nice. Honestly, I sometimes prefer alleys to paved streets because there's just so much less cars, I think, is one side of it, but also less patterned facades of how buildings should look. This building has an entrance and a front lawn with random shitting in it. It's got to look cute. It's got to look as cute as the neighbors. Oh, no, they're cuter. Nobody's thinking about that for their backsides. Maybe there's more meanings here. But anyway, it's just more fun. It's more unpredictable, and people are... It's nice to see all the little structures that emerge, because I think the city regulates things in alleys less as well, so things just take a more organic shape, which is super fascinating to see. So that was a good walk, and frankly, feeling better about a lot of things. I think movement has that tendency. So I'm not sure what the rest of the day entails. Probably some more work, but glad I got to see the sunset and walk outside a fair bit. Anyhoo, that's me.
