I've finally managed to slog through the third chapter in Capital. Took a while, as I kept putting it down and then coming back only to realize I'd left it alone for too long to successfully pick back up in the middle of the chapter. I hear the going gets easier from here on, though.

We've also managed to find a pretty sweet 2 bedroom apartment And it's not in Johnson County! Bicycling to work won't really be an option any more, as it'd be a 70mi commute by bike (which is 30 more than by highway).

So a scooter might be in my future. Or maybe a small motorcycle? I wouldn't be taking it on the highway, whichever I choose.

But outside of getting to work, my life just got loads more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

I'm really stoked to not live in a place where the handful of pedestrians that do exist cross to the other side of the street to avoid the possibility of a half second of eye contact.
