About a block from here
- Why are you so sweaty, Sam?
- I'm helping the planet with my clean energy vehicle.
- You've got a hybrid car or something? What does that have to do with why you're sweating?
- My clean energy vehicle is my bicycle!
- You're riding your bicycle to work?! How far do you live?
- About ten miles.
- Wow! That's far! I'm impressed, Sam! Saving the environment by riding your bike to work! Isn't the traffic dangerous though?
- No. There's that bicycle path near my house that follows the river all the way to the elementary school about a block from here. So I just take that.

Drugmaker offers free meds for jobless
The recession might be a little less painful for some Americans, who won't lose their prescription medications even if they lose their jobs. Pfizer said it would give away more than 70 of its most widely prescribed drugs for up to a year to people who have lost jobs since Jan. 1 and have been taking the drug for three months or more. The announcement comes as the unemployment rete topped 8.9 percent in April. Pfizer stands to benefit, too - by keeping its customers, and with a tax write-off that will cover much of the cost of the donations. The move also buys the world's largest drug maker some good will as Washington looks to overhaul the healthcare system.
