Even though I don't have anything as funny as Claire some of the choices and locations are bit disturbing (Um...Columbia, MD is actually about 45 miles from the District of Columbia so I'm trying to figure out how something that is 1.54 miles from my house is in Columbia, MD). And of course you can quit any time. You aren't one of those caffeine addicted Pacific Northwesterners are you? I have to say I'm so loving that it's midnight when I leave my office and that when I do drive I have to turn my headlights on at 4:30pm. Come on Winter Solstice!

This morning, there was some mocha "expansion" through the vent hole, spraying my dropout with caffeine. It didn't make the bike go any faster. If I weren't able to <i>quit anytime</i>, I should look into a fancy, permanent container. Claire: that's hilarious. John, I still don’t have the coffee carrying 100% worked out.

But I thought it was pretty funny as to what it thought certain amenities were. For example, under "bookstore", it notes that Taboo Adult Video is but .06 miles away. Home has a walkability of 28.

It's 1.18 miles to the nearest espresso (Big Foot), and 200' of climbing. The reverse is (obviously) the same distance, but an additional 100' of ascent. While my climbing is improving, I don't think I can do it while balancing a mocha. My “office” only rates a walkability index of 17.
