drive on

you know how everyone drives in LA? well they do... nobody takes public transportation there. only one person i know of has admitted to taking the bus before! i understand that Los Angeles County is enormous and you need a car to get around the different cities, but people will drive EVERYWHERE, even if it's to the grocery store 5 blocks away... i guess i shouldn't be too shocked by what they actually have drive-thru's for here in LA, but i am! can you believe that they have drive-thru ATM's and drive-thru dry-cleaners?!

i guess i'm used to living in cities where public transportation is incredibly accessible and cheap, and i'm used to walking around. but do people in LA really hate walking so much that they can't be bothered to park, get out of their car, and walk a few steps to withdraw cash or pick up their dry cleaning? or do they just love their cars and love driving that much that they don't wanna get out? and my biggest question is if people in LA never have to walk anywhere, how do so many of them stay so skinny?!?

and what will they think of next? a drive-thru Starbucks?? (oh wait, do they have that already too?!)
