the HAVES and the HAVE-NOTs

yeah the T is now like a comfy old shoe. it's cheap, pretty decent as far as getting around the city and you don't have to park it. however, there are some things in life that really just want a car. things that normal (car owning) folks take for granted--day trips, temple trips, over ambitious grocery shopping trips, not taking 45+ mins to get home from pretty much anywhere (despite the fact I rarely travel outside a 5 mile radius), going to Target.

when you are one of the have-nots, every event outside of the city is a distant, foggy dream. and every offered ride home is a beacon from heaven.
