Sunday afternoon I went for a walk with the Armstrongs.

You see, the think tank in Ghana proposed that Westport could solve its problems of lack of diversity, inter-generational mixing, and sense of isolation by having weekly walks to the neighbors. The Armstrongs volunteered first. They stopped off at a bunch of neighbors they didn’t know, crashed a birthday party, we even got brought through one neighbor’s bacdkyard to the river, and offered use of their canoes. The youngest son absolutely loved it, he kept saying ‘this is working! this is really working!’ and ‘We should do this every week.’

Some photos from the other enactments here, covering:

• visiting neighbors with the Armstrongs
• distributing barking dog packets to neighbors of a “problem” dog
• public slide shows of speeding accidents in Westport, shown on a wall along rt 33, and powered by electricity from a pizza place.

I think I’ll wait until after the show to put up all the video, though I am working on a one-minute teaser. Encourage more people out to the actual show itself...
