    it bugs me when fat people drive walkable distances...and when fat people have a rider mower when they don't even own 1 acre of land.

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

    Maybe it just because I live near it and happen to visit it at least once a year sometimes more................So i guess people who don't...might find it more special than i do...........I do appreciate the skyline however.......

    the one thing I liked about my last job was that I had to walk about 5 miles a day (well I could have found easier ways but never looked) so now I walk a lot of places... if it's less than an hour I'll walk.

    but i DID do it b/c i was lazy too!
    i did it even on days i didn't have shit to cart back and forth...mostly b/c i far preferred sleeping later. i love my sleep, especially in the mornings. :) so my main 'reason' was extra sleep!
    you just get into habits... start as you mean to go on and all that. In other jobs, I'd find the laziest way to get there so I could sleep in... but my last job, I found one of the ways that took the most walking, started off that way and it became my routine, I knew no easier way or I would have took it on days I wanted more sleep.

    and, in fairness, I MUCH prefer walking in the winter... wrap up well with a big coat and plenty of layers and by the time you get to work you're nice and warm. But in the summer, (those rare occasions when it IS hot) I hate when I'm all hot and sticky when I get to work and have to cool down.

    as part of international car-free day yesterday :)

    i participated in the first ever pedal powered concert in canada on Saturday

    http://www.blogto.com/music/2008/09/pedalpowered_dance_party_kicks_off_carfree_day/

    it was pretty cool pedaling with 6 year olds to 85 year olds to make the concert happen ...

    How did I miss this thread? This is my biggest pet peeve in the world. Pure laziness is all it is. Granted, state -side everything is waaayyy spread out so you're gonna need a car to get around most of the time, but I saw so many people over there who would just drive a distance that would take 5 minutes to walk. And it's not like they have to move anything big either.

    When I was in Philadelphia the hostel I stayed in was about a mile from the nearest bus stop. when we first arrived a nice lady driving by offered us a lift down. We gladly accepted as we had big heavy rucksacks with us, but the way she was talking about it you'd think we were about to walk across the country. It's only a frikkin mile. Most every day I'll walk or cycle that and more without even thinking about it..
