[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aspen Hill walking guy![/quote]
Is this the man with the blond Afro?[/quote]

NP: No, that's the Olney Walking Guy[/quote]
It's the same person. His name varies depending on what city you live in. Silver Spring walking guy.[/quote]

So then why is he called The Olney Walking Guy? Why are there several Reddit threads, Moco Show articles, blog posts identifying him as the Olney Walking Guy.  I used to live in Olney starting in the early 90's, that is where he started his walks.  Just because you see him in other areas doesn't mean he suddenly becomes the Damascus Walking Guy, or Aspen Hill Walking Guy.

PS his name is Lenny. [/quote]

Does every community have a walking person?

We used to have an older AA guy who walked extensively along Little River Turnpike in Annandale. You would see him regularly. Anyone remember him?

Where I live now, I see the same person walking along a busy road. Probably a veteran. At first he was limping badly. His limp has improved significantly. I'm silently cheering on his progress.[/quote]

We had a walking person in my neighborhood as a kid...

... and now I am that person. It's really embarrassing. I just love to walk and do it a lot - but I literally have people I've never met before stop me to say they saw me walking around such and such place, and asking why I'm not wearing my usual hat, etc. I wish I could put on an [b]invisibility cloak.[/b] I'm usually [b]just listening to podcasts,[/b] my thoughts drifting around, like really really not trying to get attention.

Maybe I should start a FB group for the walking people of different neighborhoods where we can share tips for not getting noticed![/quote]

Since you happened to mention an invisibility cloak and podcasts in the same sentence...

Have you checked out MuggleCast or Potterless? 👦🏻⚡️🪄[/quote]

This is PP - and no, but I will! I have very weird feelings about the whole HP franchise given how JKR is choosing to spend her social capital these days - but I do like the books, and would really like that darn cloak. Thanks for the recs![/quote]
