My grandfather used to tell the story of getting bored in Valparaiso, Indiana one day during the depression and deciding to walk to Calgary. Alberta. Canada. He stopped at farm houses to ask for work, sometimes working for shoes. It took him most of a year to get there. Regrettably, I neglected to ask how he ever got back to Valparaiso.
