A new record....

Last week we had to attend training sessions. They were held 11 rectilinear blocks away, the crows flight distance was more like 8 blocks. OK the car people in the office saw me walking out without my bike and offered to drive me. They think 11 blocks is too far to walk. No problem, it was a nice day, I felt like walking. After the training session we all walk out at the same time. I walk back to the office. The car people arrive in the office between 5 and 10 minutes after I get there. I wasn't looking at the clock carefully. I didn't make a big deal about it, I assumed they stopped to get gas or something, but when I asked they said no they came right back. They said it took awhile to get to the parking garage then they had to walk a block from the office parking lot. I'm not a power walker, I assumed they'd be sitting at their desks as I sauntered in. I love not having a car.
