Wholesome goodness.

Perhaps not exactly on topic, but I've always wondered if when Dan says he doesn't drive - does that mean he doesn't own a car and prefers to let others (like Terry) drive, or does that mean he never got a license? I never understood not getting a license if you're physically able to drive - it seems like it could be useful in an emergency at least. I know a woman who did that - refused to get a license or even informally learn how to drive, and it drove me nuts a couple of times because we were temporarily in a kind of business arrangement together and her being able to drive would have come in pretty handy.

Anyway, just wondering.

Check Metro's lost and found at 2nd and Jackson in a few days. It should probably still be fine to eat.

Lance Thrustwell @ 2,

I'm able-bodied and don't have a licence. I couldn't have afforded driving school and the license until I was in my thirties, and then I made a calculation: as an urban dweller, being able to drive would come in handy maybe two or three times a year. Being able to drive safely would require practice, so renting a car at least once a month to go nowhere in particular. Did not make sense, so I didn't.

Now that I'm in my fifties with elderly relatives, driving would be a meaningfully useful skill for the first time but I'm back to not having the money.

Lance Thrustwell, my beloved has a license and owns a car but when we go downtown we take public transit because it's cheaper and easier.
