The 7 minutes were included in the 18. 7 minutes to walk to transit center, 10 minute bus ride to Hillcrest, 1 minute walk to office.
And yes, I have tons of free time, which I used to spend zoned out in front of my TV. I much prefer to spend it walking around our beautiful city.
I have my PO box downtown for 2 reasons. I love having an excuse to go downtown twice a week. Also, I got the PO Box 17 years ago when I moved back to San Diego. I have moved 5 times in those 17 years but have not had to go through the change of address hassle in all that time.
I have been a mass transit rider since May and have not yet had to deal with rain (which is quite unfortunate, I love rain!) Once we finally get another rain day (possibly as soon as this Thursday) I will dust off my umbrella and use it as I walk the 7 plus 1 minutes from home to office.
Again, please realize that I am not trying to convert anyone to my way of life. I understand that we all have different circumstances. I am just trying to convey that anyone who WANTS to use public transportation that that option is available to them, and I am more than willing to share my experiences with them.
