So. I'm a driver now. Wow. In our culture, driving is everything. I've certainly done a lot of it in the past year. As I'm sure many of you know, the economy sucks. It really sucks. And trying to get a job sucks even more. According to http://www.syracusegasprices.com/ (I have no idea how reputable they are and by no means endorse them) gas is hovering around $3.56/gal across the nation, and even higher in NY. That said, I'm effectively done driving. Up until now, as far as my family was concerned they were teaching me to drive; I used their car and their gas. That ain’t true anymore. Looking in my wallet, I have just over $3.75, enough to cover a gallon at most local stations. I guess I'll be able to fill the lawnmower at least. New freedoms don't always come with new abilities. As anyone who once asked an elementary teacher to go to the bathroom will understand, I finally may drive, but I also no longer can. Some of you will get picky about how technically I can drive there are just details like money in my way. . . Give it a rest. You get my point.
