while planning a vacation, take note:

i spend waaay too much time typing random things into the search bar at wikipedia. i admit it, it's an addiction. i'm just training my mind for my eventual battle with trebek when i make it onto jeopardy....

so the best entry this week? i'm going to have to give that one to the list of car-free places all over the world. if you know me (and i think you do), then you are aware of my dislike of driving and sometimes even riding in cars. i hate car travel. i just do. i don't get carsick or anything like that -- i just distrust 99.9% of the drivers out there, and i have the feeling that they will all be hitting me at some point in the future. i'm glad to see that my upcoming trip to montreal with have a nice car-free break when i wander around the underground tunnel-city-thing, but i do fear the mole people...pay close attention to the facts though -- for some reason the damn pearl street mall in boulder is listed, and i don't think that should really count (it's called a walking mall for the love of god). regardless, i think i shall have to become friends with the carfree people.
