I've now officially broken one of the pledges I made to myself in high school -- that I wouldn't live/work someplace where I had to drive a long way to work.  I told myself that after doing a report my senior year on oil dependency.    Now I have to drive 65 miles one way to work, burning a little under 4 gallons of gas a day all by myself when I can't carpool.  Ugh.  Makes me want to get a car with a biodiesel engine that runs off of leftover fast food grease.
