I just thought this was sort of appropriate. I swear I am this close to buying a horse! I keep trying to think of ways to cut down on the driving I do. I have three kids, in 3 different schools and they each have activities and obligations. I drive a ton. I can actually hear the sucking noises coming from my gas tank. Things will change a LITTLE next year as my older two will be in the same school - and my daughter will be driving - but not by much.

I remember the gas lines of the 1970's and we were all panicked that they would run out of gas and gas was outrageously priced at, oh around .86 a gallon. Seriously. I guess it's all relative since things were much different then - but still, I remember two years ago groaning that I was NOT going to pay $2 a gallon for gas. Man what I wouldn't give for that now -it's like reverse psychology. We would actually WELCOME $2 a gallon now. It's maddening.

I'll buy a horse, and go riding with my camera 'stuff' !Until then, I guess it just pays to consolidate trips as much as possible.
