Recently, we told you about Mark Schatzker, who’s planning to circumnavigate the world without any means of locomotion faster than 100 miles per hour. Why? He wants to rediscover “slow travel.” Cool, huh? Not according to Pete Eubanks.
In an effort to get to the core of slow travel, Pete plans to walk from his front door to the corner of his street — an astounding 189 feet away — in 4 days. According to Pete, “Tomorrow, I’ll be in front of Mary’s house. The following day, I’m going to get up early, because the leg in front of Carlos’ house is gonna be tough: lots of cracks in the sidewalk there. After that, Jim’s house, and then I’ll finish up the trip on the far side of Sue’s place. See it? Right there?”
When asked why he’s doing this trip, Pete — whose neighbors reportedly call him “Pokey Pete” — raises his fist in anger and shouts, “Pokey? I’ll show them pokey!”
