1) errands. I have 5 kids. I often get a request for "please pick x, y, z" up
on the way home. It seems that I am always having to go somewhere.
I live and work in a sort of bad neighborhood. In the summer, it's too hot.
Cold I don't mind, but it's dark. I carry pepper spray/cs gas mix and I have a
concealed carry permit, but I only really feel safe when I have both of those
(99.9% of the time) AND my German Shepherd, who UNFORTUNATELY is not welcome
in my office all day long on a regular basis.
I have walked a few times...but it's just not a nice walk. Blight, drug
dealers, whores (not so much any more) and you always need to be watching your
back.
Kansas City is weird. MY block is nice. 2 blocks away is hell and 2 blocks
the other way are million dollar homes. the whole residential part of the
older city (not downtown) is like that.
So I think that's the main reason - its just an unpleasant walk. When I
lived in the BEAUTIFUL little town of Cross Plains, Wisconsin, I walked to
work all the time. I LOVE that town. Wife's "ancestral homeland". Her great-
great - great.... grandfather Engelbert Übersetzig immigrated there in the
early 1850's, opened a saloon and they've been there ever since. But now they
are dairy farmers...and I brought her here :-(
Long answer, sorry.

why are you even *driving* at all?
wouldn't a bicycle work better? ;-)
seriously; do you have too much stuff you need to take with you that
you need to drive? (surely, it can't be the weather; i've comfortably
walked farther than that in Alberta when it was over 40* below,...)
cheers!

As far as I can tell. I once tried swapping them to see and they fit in
