Walk Score is an interesting online service that rates your neighborhood by walkability: things like proximity to cafes and parks, presence of sidewalks (why do they even allow developers to build without sidewalks?) and safety features like street lights.

Well, maybe air is boring-er, but not by much. I’m talking about water. You need it, a body’s gotta have it, but good lord in heaven is it dull stuff. And I dunno about your bathroom, but mine just isn’t such a fabulous oasis of delights that I care to spend half my day in […]
