show me where the sun comes through the sky
Happy Earth Day!
I was reading the Times Magazine and saw this:
"quarter of all car trips are now shorter than a mile"
I am really surprised. Not because people drive everywhere, but that people live the close to things. I picture most of the country in suburbs where grocery stores and work places are far away.
I do not judge, as when it is cold, I drive. But now that it warm (praise jesus), I try to walk to a lot more places. Sunday Ben, Aiden, and I walked over to Whole Food to do our grocery shopping. Yesterday, I walked with Aiden to the Jewel to complete the shopping. During both of these trips the sidewalks were busy because of cubs game.
NOT A FAN OF CUBS FANS. They are drunk and/or stupid.
I am a BIG FAN of my chicken salad. And walking.
NOT A FAN of the construction.
FAN of my alderman's office, who a wrote about fencing issues and shaking of my building issues. They wrote back like they cared. And, the fencing issues have gotten better, though not resolved. They have quit taking up the entire sidewalk with their fence, but their fence is on our property. AND when the front loader came today it did not shake our building as it went by. They are either driving slower or brought a smaller front loader.
I just updated MT as the buttons were working to upload pics here in firefox's newest update. They work now and i am a much bigger fan of the new entry screen. It isn't a pain to enter categories anymore! Big fan.
NOT A FAN of the car alarm going off. I am SURE it belongs to someone at the game, since it started going off just after the game started.
