Yes, I did that the other day to drop a book off at the library. Well, that's closer to a full mile, but even then I felt like a giant fatty for not walking.

Yay! I haven't been here too, too long then as I haven't done either of these (well the second one has been occasionally unwantedly enforced by spell checkers but that doesn't count

If I ever order any kind of latte, flavoured or otherwise, you all have my permission to exercise your right to bear arms and shoot me
