I don’t generally concern myself with the humidity. Frequently I will get rain on my glasses, but it’s still possible to look thro’ them. Humid clothes do not irritate me by much. My main concern is the drivers. They can be intimidating, even if they mean no harm. We have very few sidewalks in our neighbourhood, so I mostly just promenade on the routes. Automobiles have to keep space between you, but it’s sometimes problematic as there exist parked autos in the routes. It’s common to encounter a driver who motions you to cross the intersection, but there’re also a few drivers who don’t care if they intimidate you. One memorable instance was when I was on my way home with a sack of lunch and a beverage, and an auto (probably another pick‐up truck) beeped behind me to make me drop my stuff. He failed, but he still got a nice laugh. Another time was when an auto with a canine in it zoomed past me. I heard a loud BARK, shocking my body and making me say ‘Oh my Hell!’ More recently, a loud, white pick‐up truck was moving (somewhat) rapidly whilst I was in his way. Whilst I was returning home, he made his engine roar behind me, horrifying me. Oh, another annoying fact is that most of the autos here in Texas are pick‐up trucks. It’s quite common for people to leave their machine running for dozens of minutes whilst the people aren’t using it. In fact, today my mum and I encountered another one of those people.

When I’m on the ice, I’m very tardigrade and cautious. When there’s a vehicle coming my way, and there certainly was one a few months ago, I become panicky. I was almost home, and this person would not stop her machine whilst I was attempting to get to safety. It was very intimidating. Snow is tenderer. There still exists a possibility of slipping, just not as much as ice.

I’m usually very pensive when I ambulate, so I do not require music. It is certainly possible for my body to ake after a lot of it, though. Sometimes after the day I promenade, my feet feel very sore and my legs hurt. It’s more apparent when I am attempting to sleep. The temperature down here is very erratic and rarely perfect. It’s normally either excessively ardent or cold. The heat is slightly more tolerable to me, though. I actually do take many promenades during the night‐time, but I become concerned about accidentally allowing insects into our residence.

It does help me to promenade, especially since my immediate family mostly finds my footsteps unpleasant. But when I ambulate excessively, I need to clean myself because I’m sweaty, fetid, and greasy.
