Wheels.
Every now and then I miss having a car. The Snook, mostly, does not. This week we compromised by signing up for GoGet CarShare. (Well, I signed up, anyway.) It’s sort of a hippie collective where you pay $15 a month and you can cheaply rent these little cars that are parked near your house. There’s one in our neighborhood. They sent me the key today and everything! The only stressful bit was passing the “CarShare Exam” over the phone. Thankfully, the Hermione Granger-like zeal with which I studied the Online Orientation meant I scored five out of five. (FIST PUMP.) We’re going to try it out this weekend. I’ll be sure to post our experiences for you other carless hippie-types.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Woo hoo, ROAD TRIP!
That orientation is very clever; it reminds me of the Dharma Initiative. We have something like that here (http://www.flexcar.com/), too, which I always thought would be great to join (if I didn’t already have a car from my evil corporate highway commuting days).
