I'm in lovely London Town. It's all very charming, the accents, the shoppes, the black cabs, the red buses. Just lovely.
The fact that it takes an hour to get anywhere is a bit much. To travel 5 miles last weekend, I walked for 20+ minutes, took a bus, and two overland trains. It only took 90 minutes and $9. *5 miles*, people. A cab for the same trip costs close to $40. You really have to make a decision - which is more valuable to you, your time or your money?
I miss my car.

"The Independent Tortoise" - huh?
Wanting to be oh-so-clever with a name for the blog, I did the obvious thing; I consulted the random band name generator. Hours of entertainment. 'Hobo Lizard' and 'Agony of Bacon' were interesting, but 'The Independent Tortoise' really grabbed my attention.
Independent to a fault, slow and methodical like a tortoise, keeping the big picture and long term in mind, grounded and practical. Sounds a lot like me, doesn't it? Plus, I too am low to the ground, have stumpy solid legs, and have trouble getting up when I've fallen onto my back. It's kind of perfect, actually.

You should've just walked the 5 miles! Would've been faster.
