There's a doctor's office across the street from our office, 294 yards door to door (Yes, I measured it). Several people use it. Most drive to get there. In other human-powered transportation news, this is National Bike Month, and Friday is Bike to Work Day. It’s amazing what short distances people will drive!

(Ate? We _destroyed_ that buffet...) We asked the waitress if there was a Wal-Mart/Target/KMart type of store for something or other. "well, yeah, but it's _far_." "how far?" "oh, it's at least 500 yards over that way." One of my favorite memories of my Appalchian Trai Hike was in Franklin, NC. 2 other hikers and I ate at a Pizza Hut when we first got into town. (Ate?
