Maybe not news, but worth repeating

Paul Dorn has a great bike commuting blog that I try to keep up with, but sometimes I get behind. Last week he described an article about whether we'll ever get out of our cars, but what caught my eye was a joke he mentions he likes to tell: "Building freeways to fight traffic congestion is like building cemeteries to fight a pandemic disease."

I like this analogy. Another one might be getting a bigger refrigerator so you can better manage your weight.
