$60 train
so paid $60 for a tank of gas today. on it i drove 383 miles. that's 19 drives to and from work. a monthly train pass costs $60. the train becomes economical when if i ride it 19 or more times per month. there are open wireless access points at every station. i can grab some pages while we're stopped and read them between stations. it really doesn't take much longer to ride the train than to drive. cause i'm usually driving home in rush hour traffic. the big disadvantage is i have to go on the train's schedule. but right now i generally have to go on the kids' schedule. so that's really not much of a change. and bonus, i can skate to the station every morning. i really need to get some exercise.
