NYT goes Carless

So we’ve got two families that blog here in a major metro area and a minor one…all carless….

here are two recent NYT articles thinking about a life without the car.

The NYT says “The nation has lots of “walkable” places. But giving up the automobile is another thing altogether.” Do we? Last I checked most places I bike are anti-walker and prioritize the car at every turn…Including my favorite combo the crosswalk with the stop or yield sign for the bike/ped.

I’m a big fan of giving the cars arteries like interstates, but shouldn’t those no-effort fat-arse deathtraps be relegated to the subordinate role on all other throughways? I remember growing up on those not-very-american locations, the US Air Force Bases where the rule always was most vunerable has right-of-way. Works for me. Peds trump bikes trump motorbikes trump cars (course i think the A-10s and FB-111’s trumped everything, but hey).

Amazing Easy Bread

I think I finally found a bread recipe that makes beautiful bread for a novice. I tried it yesterday when I accidentally found the recipe while looking for pizza crust recipes. J, E and I ate the first loaf with honey for breakfast this morning.

It’s super easy and the bread is amazing.
