Drive No Mo?

Have you been driving less? We heartell that folks all over America are actually driving less because of skyrocketing fuel prices.

Weak. What kind of Americans are they? Don't they care about Exxon Mobil's bottom line? We bet they don't wear a flag pin on their lapels, either. Commies.

Good to see you posting more often. Yes, I'm driving less. Luckily I work from home so I only need to fill up my car once every three weeks or so. When I do, I fill up (gas) at Costco and do my monthly shopping while I'm there.

I've gone back to hand-washing my car instead of taking it to the car wash. If I want to see a movie, I use iTunes or BitTorrent, same for a new music album.

It takes a really good deal to get me into a big box retailer, like $1 birthday cards and gift bags in the Target bargain bins.

For fresh fruit and veg, I take light rail downtown to the farmers' market. I live about 1 mile from the station.

I'm coping for now, worrying about the future, though.
