Parking Lot Madness
I know I don’t post here often (honestly, do people even read this?), but thought I would share this video that came through my brother on Facebook:
The video is commentary of a typical day at a Whole Foods parking lot next to the Cherry Creek Mall here in Denver.
Where else could this happen but in a culture where car is king?
Car-Lite
Who would’ve thought a year ago I wouldn’t own a car? I certainly didn’t. I couldn’t comprehend how anyone could get by without a car.
Well, two days ago I sold my car. The 1988 Subaru RX. It was a great little car for the period I had it. The last couple months, it barely was driven. Just sat out on the side of Downing St looking very lonely. Yes, it had cars in front and behind it to keep company, but it wanted to be driven.
Note, I’m not completely car-free. Niki let’s me borrow her car. We actually have both our names on the insurance policy now (yikes! commitment!).
Also, I recently signed up for a car sharing program called Occasional Car. If you actually sign up now, you can even get a free membership. I haven’t used the service yet, though I plan to eventually. There’s a Toyota Yaris within walking distance from the apartment. Expect a review once I have a need for it.
Its amazing where one can go with relatively little effort using a bicycle and public transportation in Denver.
