Get a move on

Our real estate agent told me last night about WalkScore.com, a website that tells you how "walkable" things are from a certain address. If we ever move, being able to walk places is really important to us--not only because of gas prices but for convenience.

So of course I had to figure out our current "walk score"--and it's 71, which is "Very Walkable: It's possible to get by without owning a car." I have no idea how that compares with other people's places, but it seems good to me. (Though we're still keeping the cars.)

Sorry, mom, I tallied your Walk Score and it's 0. That's one downside of living in the country. You still certainly can walk, it just won't take you anywhere.

Cleaning house doesn't get you anywhere either but I do it occasionally anyway. Walking nowhere sounds like a better sport. I think I shall replace housecleaning with walking. So much healthier.
