Meet Ted: He's Walking Across America



I met this guy named Ted today. He came in the store wearing a giant pack with signs saying that he's walking across America. We had a long chat about his reasons, and they seem noble, if somewhat esoteric and complex. You can read why he's doing it here. He said he'd be in Dallas for a few days, so I'm hoping to have a longer conversation with him about the whole thing. If he can pitch his tent on your lawn here in Dallas, he would appreciate it.

He's the second person I've met who has walked/is walking across the country. (Remember Steve Vaught from thefatmanwalking.com?) I think that's pretty cool. If anyone else who's walking across America is in Dallas, look me up! That would be a strange thing to collect, no? Or to be a groupie of?
