Vicky, I never get on the freeway unless I'm leaving town. Everything I need is within a couple of miles. Safeway, Drug store, 2 Sushi bars. The farthest place away is the airport. 20 miles. If I never left town I doubt I'd drive more than a couple of 1000 miles a year. We don't have traffic jams. Some people that comute across town run into traffic but it's not like the big cities.

Kathy, That is a really great idea. I've heard of that school.
