I'm disappointed that no one has mentioned Lois McMaster Bujold yet.

You might be right. Privacy may be dead, but I hope you'll forgive me for not dancing on its grave.

For context, when I looked, there were less than 5 votes. So "more people" is really just "a couple of dogs".

(Oh, wait, on the Internet, no one is supposed to know you're a dog)

Oh, I think it checks out. Maybe it should be "fly to space" or "fly rocket ships", but the point of the job is the trip. Unless -- hmm. Did explorers of yesteryear have BS jobs, too?

silicone, glass, abs

Why do I have Huntrix songs running through my head all of a sudden?

I'm not really sure, but the nearby "fancy" grocery store is about that distance. 1.2 miles (1.9km), 27 minutes walk, 10 blocks (well, technically 15. Rectangular blocks. I counted two-for-one on the short sides).

I've walked to that store before, but I coordinated with my wife that she would meet me at the store on her way home from work. Walking both ways is just a little outside my "don't bother" perimeter.

Hmm, I could probably get used to it if I had to, but I don't really have any motivation. I already have a car, and the dollar a week to drive to the store won't break my budget.

12 blocks is more like 2km, but nice try. It's still farther than I'd tend to walk, particularly for groceries.

Yeah, that's gonna be too far for me, dawg.
