tread lightly, please....

My first digs in Clarksville has been an apartment. It has been about 30 years since I last lived in an apartment. I was kind of worried about it but it hasn't been too bad so far. I think that most of the residents were gone during the holidays but even recently, the complex has been quiet. It's so quiet, I don't even know if anyone lives next to me.
But then there is the guy upstairs from me. Just based on how fast he moves around, I can't imagine that he is super heavy. He is a very heavy walker. Two things are puzzling. How is it possible to clomp around so heavily? Is he wearing really heavy boots? It can't be good for the knees. The other question is why is he going from one side of the apartment to the other so much and in such a hurry? It baffles me. I refer to him as my elephant neighbor upstairs who is bored and paces in his cage.
