On my way home today the streetcar short turned (as they are apt to do) but, luckily for me, the detour took it to the same stop I get off at anyways just in a more roundabout way. So no problem. This other guy on the streetcar was trying to figure out the detour (and when people who are obviously from the city have problems doing that I'm so confused, there's not many places a streetcar can go...) and it turned out he was going to the street before my street. So I told him he could probably walk it in 20 minutes or less from the stop I get off at and he looked at me like I'd grown a second head. "I'm not walking that far, are you nuts!?" then he crammed onto the already overly crowded Queen streetcar during rush hour. Standing for the 20 minutes it was going to take him to get to his stop would be more tirnig than walking it... but whatever, I'm clearly the crazy one. Also, I really enjoy the walk home at the end of the day and I'm on my freaking feet all day! This guy was clearly coming from an office job, ergo probably getting to spend a lot of his time sitting down.

I love to walk.
