Ever notice how big the parking lot is at the gym or health club?
Is it odd that people pay so much per month to go run on someone else's treadmill? Or lift someone else's weights?
Just how far away does something have to be in order for us to drive rather than walk or bike to it? One block? Two blocks?
I suppose you know that there are remote controls for ceiling fans and curtains as well as for the TV now. Or, that you can get an option for your keyless entry system that will start the car remotely.
Most of the major stores in my town have automatic door openers that work in both directions.
I notice that the 2-story mall has 7 escalators on only 2 sets of stairs.
New cars have pneumatic assist devices on the tailgates or trunk lids and power sliding doors and trunk releases.
Oh. I guess I let myself stray a bit. We were taking about kids not walking to school. Weren't we?
