toward a walkable life

Hat tip to Mary Hess for a link to a cool site that calculates your home's walk score--how walkable life is in your neighborhood.  We're trying to build a walkable life as we move to St. Paul and I just found out we're moving from a house (however lovely it may be) with a walk score of 33 to a new house with a walk score of 66!  Well, we knew that our new life would be more walkable that here, but doubling the score is great. For fun I checked out my folks who live in the woods in Montana: oops--they got a 0.  But it is beautiful living in the woods!
Peace,
Chris

We can and do walk to see the Fairy Slipper Orchids along the equestrian trail and to the Stiff's hillside to see the Pasque flowers and Sagebrush buttercups and to the pond under the Aspens to check on the frogs and the rushes and the duckweed and the Mulie does with their spotted fawns. By our calculation, our walk score is 100. Dad.

We will miss you, Chris! Despite my ridiculously long commute to Yale, thanks to you I can at least be happy about my "walkscore" of ... (drum roll, please) 69!
