They absolutely are though, walkability decreases as one moves towards most sports "centers".

Driving a car should cost 100's of dollars per day.

That would require Dems to go balls-to-the-wall with something like Medicare for all.

Ain't happening, too many hands up the butts of democratic congress critters.

What a strange, beautiful shot of Comet Lemmon, now passing through the northwest sky after sunset.

Here you see 2 comet tails (gas and dust), plus the unrelated zigzag trail of a passing meteor. And, inevitably, a couple satellite trails, too. 🧪🔭

C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is a non-periodic comet discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey in images obtained on 3 January 2025. Here seen beside a meteor trail.

Statistics should be taught alongside algebra in schools and we would not have to deal with this nonsense every 20-30 years.
