This is the dilemma: When you pretty much only drive to and from work every day and make all your stops on the way home, there is no way to drive less.

I'm trying to drive less. I carpool to work and then teach where my husbands studies so we try to meet up at home to go together, though sometimes he gets out of work too late, and I can't afford to wait for him, so I drive.

But I'm not just talking about work/school. I went shopping yesterday and opted to go to a different store because it was 12 + miles closer than a mall I was thinking of going to. We want to go to the beach today and we'll go to the closest beach, though it may not be the best one.

Yes. We pretty much drive only to and from work. We take the bus or metrolink (light rail) when possible. We walk a lot more. And, we tend to make all stops only when they are on the way to some where else we have to go.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip
