Walking is better than driving because you notice more. Like this:

In a literal interpretation of the Government in the Sunshine Act, Eureka staffers for Senator Noreen Evans and Assemblymember Wes Chesbro have harnessed the North Coast’s natural resources to produce a bounty of homegrown (officegrown?) organic tomatoes right outside their conference room windows. 

(No word on whether they plan to run a fruit stand out of the parking lot.)

A little patience, a little sunshine… if only fixing the state was so simple.
