As I write this I am drinking the first coffee I’ve had in about a week. I am enjoying it, although I suspect that in about 30 minutes I’ll be bouncing off the walls. When I’m sick with a cold, the taste of coffee turns me off.
I am feeling better today, which is good, because our long weekend is jam packed and there’s a lot to do today. My eyes still feel gritty and itchy. The girls and I walked down to the neighborhood pharmacy the other day to pick up some eye drops.
Once again, it made me remember why I love this neighborhood so much. I can take a pleasant walk and buy things like eye drops!
Speaking of which…
Walk Score will show you – more or less – how walkable your neighborhood is. The higher the score, the better the “walkability.”A walkable neighborhood = a healthy neighborhood and less dependence on cars. I wish the City of Ottawa had a better grasp of the big picture, and was better at encouraging the development of walkable neighborhoods.
How walkable is your ‘hood?
