Quote:I don't buy this at all. Most people I know are perfectly happy to walk places, but it's not like you can walk 5 miles to the store or something as is the case for most people I know...And yet, in my little rinky-dink town here in Missouri, I get gasps of amazement from damned near everyone I work with when they find out that I walk to work every day. It's a short 15-20 minutes and they're flat out amazed that anyone would walk "that far". "Why walk when you have a car?" There are very, very few people that I've spoken to here that don't drive everywhere; some of them don't even walk to the mailbox at the end of the driveway (and no, these aren't driveways that are a mile long either:P).
