### No, running through the Louvre doesn't tell you anything
about the runner's appreciation of art. And neither would his
passage at a slow walk. ["DOTE!"]

### At the same time, the runner would not be looking at those
doing the slow walk and feeling the need to comment thusly:
"Jeeez! Look at those unappreciative phools. They're missing the
big picture, standing too close [while] counting brush strokes."
Were the shoe on the other foot, Jack, the runner would
logically note you're missing the forest for the trees.
["DOTE!"]

Anybody notice how I got back to the forest on that one????

And speaking of endurance endeavors... Hey Jack, how far did you
go last year ON A BROKEN ANKLE? ["DOTE!"] Pot calling the kettle
athletic? Hmmmm? [Jack's rotflhao on this one, but it's
true...{!}]

"Hike your own hike"??? Balderdash.
We all practice "Hike *my* own hike" all the time.
