Anti-urbanism, bah.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or maybe ita is about to visit, and all the goats are hiding....

Before I lived in Europe, my experience with public transportation was so limited that I was suspicious and a little afraid of it. Returning to a car culture sucked!
And now that I actually live somewhere again that has public transportation, I use it every single day and I'm very happy that I don't need to own a car.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yeah, it is gonna suck when I move back to Texas. Not owning a car will not be an option. In fact, going even a day without using the car will probably be near impossible. And I haven't owned a car for 10 years now.

National Geographic reader Quinton Robinson took this amazing photo of a Madagascar giant leaf tailed gecko that looked at the world with trippy colored eyes!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You won't find anyone who owns a home for $200,000 and up who needs to ride a bus or train into work.
Speaking as someone who lives in Manhattan and takes public transportation exclusively let me say that I don't think I KNOW anyone who's home costs a paltry $200,000.
Not only that, just this morning I saw black people on the train. And no one died.

Anti-urbanism, bah
Hi, have you met Texas? Only poor people and us dirty hippies like the city (unless you Disney-fy it and charge an arm and a leg for rent, but even then it's kinda hipster or yuppieish and they're not to be trusted either).
msbelle, you'll likely need a car, though depending on where you are maybe not all the time. I haven't seen the inside of my car since last Tuesday. Friday I found out it was dead, so I just kept walking up to the bus stop at the corner.
