My WalkScore – the Walkability of where I live: 48

My WalkScore: 48 out of 100. I’m Car-Dependent.

I was browsing through some of my RSS feeds and stumbled on a post about WalkScore.com. I remember hearing about this a year ago up in San Francisco while I was up there for a convention.  So with this random place posting about WalkScore.com, I figured I’d check it out. Well, it seems that where I live isn’t so walkable after all. Only a 48 out of 100. My old house, however, is a 65 out of 100 and so is the place where I work. But I find that a little hard to believe. WalkScore.com, do you really expect me to walk 4.65 miles to a starbucks for a out priced cup of joe!?  Naw, didn’t think so. Regardless, it was still a fun little experiment.

So, whats your walkscore???

I can totally see it some day..

Them: Hey, ASL?  WS?
Me:
Hi, 26, M, Southern CA… WS: 48… U?
Them: ugg, only a 48.. Lates….
Okay, maybe thats pushing it a little.  :)

Southern CA is on fire and Temecula Valley is right in the middle of it.

I figured I’d take advantage of the clear air here in Temecula to grab a photo or two of the fires that are all around the Temecula Valley.

I wish there was something I could do to help out, but too many people causes too much congestion. So if asked, I will jump at the oppertunity to help, but until then I will stay put and watch from a distance.
