With the global warming and gas prices nearing $5.00 a gallon, I have had a recurring fantasy of an alternative to car driving. I've imagined what it would be like if everybody rode their bikes to almost everywhere. Of course, a lot of people who live in snow country would not be able to do it, but imagine if most of the people in California did it.

The week of Thanksgiving was the first time that I was home since I was shipped off to college, and it was interesting to see how my parents have changed in my abscence. They have returned to their hippie roots (not that that's a bad thing, hippies are for the most part, fairly cool. Except hippies from Ann Arbor--they are downright scary).
