I remember living just 2.5 miles from work and DRIVING, simply because I wanted to sleep longer. Gosh, I was such an idiot!

But yea - having a car makes it tough. Our car died this past December in PA, so we've been without car ever since. Of course, living in NYC makes getting around pretty easy (subways and busses). Plus, the subway is just two blocks from my apartment... sigh...

And don't sweat the riding in the rain stuff. It's just one hour of being wet.... heh... after awhile it feels nice, and you laugh at the people you see running from their cars to their front doors
