GREEN SQUARED
$4 per gallon...that is my breaking point. So today I broke down and took the bus to work. The New Albany park and ride is about 4 miles from home which shaves about 28 miles off my normal trip...or 56 miles per day. So for the inconvenience of 4 extra stops and $2 I can live a little greener sharing a trip with 20some strangers and keep a lot more green in my wallet....most mornings and afternoons you will now find my on the #39 Express. What is your breaking point?

I have a pretty high price point. Caused by a 20 minute drive to work and a 30 minute drive home at 6:00 am, versus an hour and a half commute to work. Three hours to get to work and back, vs 50 minutes?? Public transportation sucks on the Eastside. Hope you are doing well, and practicing your art!!
I haven't found my breaking point yet. I can pretty much take anything.
Wow...I wonder what my limit is? Last weekend it was 4.50 in the city! It is down to around 4.09 here. Some days I go by the gas station and my jaw drops.
Jane and I should really car pool.
Can you read books on the bus? That might be relaxing as long as there are not a lot of crazy people riding the bus.
Everytime I take the bus from the Seattle airport to downtown to catch the ferry there are some crazies. Gives it flavor I guess.
love you.
