And now...figure out your Walk Score!

As a much-needed respite from the Bushist order, I've found a nifty website that lets you figure out your Walk Score!

What, indeed, is a Walk Score? It's an invention that lets you conduct yourself in an orderly manner by showing you how easy it is to walk to various businesses. You type in your street address, and it gives you your Walk Score, based on a scale of 0 to 100 (with 100 being the best).

Granted, some of the businesses covered are ones I'd never use, and the system still has limitations in neighborhoods that are broken up by freeways, but you get the idea. It also doesn't take weather into account.

So peep and weep:

My current digs has a walk score of 82 (in a bottle of poo). (Just joking about the bottle of poo part. It's from a poem I wrote as a youth.) The place where I lived in Highland Heights through much of the '90s has a current walk score of 52. I'm surprised it's that high, frankly. My previous residence in that community has a mediocre 51.
