On Transportation
We've seen a lot of "farm implements" going down Museum Road lately. Apparently, they are getting in place for the harvest, although I have not seen any evidence of cutting or reaping or any such thing. I can't tell you waht these vehilces are, but I can hear 'em coming as they rumble up "the big hill", then "the small hill", then "another big hill" - this is how the kids describe the dirt road runway approaching our house.
And, since I'm talking about vehicles, I should mention that mine is now quite dusty. I hate that. Can I get a car wash installed in my driveway?? Given that I don't drive to work or anything, I have managed to nurse a tank of gas in the ol' Saturn for what I think is coming up on 3 weeks now. We're within 10 miles of the grocery store and a Walmart. And, a lot of the driving is on highway, which seems to be more efficient. It's nice to live in a place where, when you get on the highway and it says you have 65 miles to get someplace, you know it'll take you about an hour. Living on Chicago's north side, not too far from O'Hare, it took me just about an hour to get anywhere. 25 miles to Downers Grove - hour. 22 miles to Arlington Heights - thx to OPEN ROAD TOLLING, an hour plus. Not around here.
Just with that alone, I think my blood pressure must be down a few points, at least. I hated Chicago traffic and it's nice to be out of it. Did I mention that gas here is around $2.40 a gallon lately???!
