that I live in a place that's not conducive to walking.I spent four years walking around the UT campus, and then I had the chance all over again to wear my legs out every time I visited Tokyo last year. Every time I felt like my legs wouldn't carry me anymore, they just kept on going.I miss that sensation.I can't even walk to a 7-11 from here. That's not a complaint about inconvenience, and it's certainly not a complaint about the opportunity to drive, but it does reveal just how little I could accomplish by walking from my house. I can't get a snack, a loaf of bread, or anything, really.Chances are good that's a statement about life in a Texas city more than anything.Going to grad school will grant me another two years of walking-induced health and weight loss, and hopefully after that I'll have the fortune of living somewhere where I can walk to get something done and save the driving for when I really need it.
