Are you the guy that wrote 'Take your foot off the Gas?'
I havn't read the book, but I 100% agree with the sentiment and wish there were some more brave souls willing to stand up to the tyranny of the car.

Yep, that was me. I was unsuccessful in marketing it but it's still available on line.

Paul, it's good to see you are still out there somewhere and you haven't forgotten us. I hope you are doing well. You are a poster I miss.

I'll have to look for Paul's book.

I walk my daughter to school and back most every school day. I love it. However, my neighbors don't understand me--at first, they would try to offer me rides(very kind of them, mind you). However, it was hard to get them to understand that I could easily drive, but I CHOOSE to walk.

If you combined your ability to publish something with Will Schryver's acumen at self-promotion, imagine the possibilities!

Something tells me that incompatibilities in personality and approach would doom that relationship long before it started.
