Just came back from an 1800 mile roundtrip drive to my sister's for thanksgiving. My wife's work is 23 miles away, and there is no reasonable public transportation. Her nurse shifts are already 12 1/2 hrs, so tacking on an hour plus each way for public transportation would not work. I visit two to three schools a day plus a few evening appts a week with clients so I need mobility. Also, through no control of my own, my office was moved 50 miles a way, but I only go in every week or two. I will not ride my bike at night, putting my life in the hands of others. I cannot arrive to appts sweaty and expect to cover 50 to 100 miles a day. Good thing my dually gets 9 mpg (kidding! I drive an Integra tht averages 32 mpg.)
BTW, Here is the weather report for tomorrow:
Tuesday: Partly sunny, with a high near 65. Windy, with a west wind 33 to 36 mph decreasing to between 18 and 21 mph. Winds could gust as high as 49 mph.
Tuesday Night: A 30 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 29. Blustery, with a north northwest wind 17 to 20 mph decreasing to between 7 and 10 mph. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Wednesday: A 30 percent chance of snow before 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. South southeast wind at 5 mph becoming east northeast.
Now how could I go skiing without a car?
