In praise of - walking to work.

Once you get to a certain age, you start quoting your parents while under the impression that you're having an original thought.

It happened to me recently, talking to a friend. "There are too many cars around; there weren't nearly as many when I was little," I said, suddenly becoming aware I'd turned into my mother.

It's true, though; there are too many cars and if we're too reliant on them, we're going to start shaping our towns for them instead of ourselves.
