When’s the last time I walked 40 miles? 30? 20? 10?
It’s been a minute. Only 150 years ago or 200 years ago I may have done one of those maybe once a month or year.
While I’m not entirely sure it’s beneficial for my health not to walk a ton every day, I’m grateful for cars.
- I can live far from my workplace.
- I can visit my parents in a day, today if I wanted
- I can go to the hills, take a hike, and be back to take my kids to school
- I can go get groceries.
Maybe life was simpler back in the days without cars, I’m not sure. But I’m grateful for the variety of life I can live with a car. I also remember not having easy access to a car while living in the city and I just felt so trapped all the time. Cars are great.
