This morning I walked from Joe's house to the bus and since I have to get up so damn early, I saw the sun rise. Pretty nice, except for the fact that I am awake.
Adventures in Not Driving
I live in Baltimore and am taking part in the Zipcar "Low Car Diet", which means I am supposed to rely on alternative forms of transportation (bike, bus, walk, zipcar), basically anything that is not my own car, for one month. Here goes!

Day 19 - Saturday, 10/9/10
Sara and I zipped it like no other today. After walking to the Farmers' Market and then home, I picked up my reserved zipcar from the Johns Hopkins area. It was a Toyota Prius and it was cool. We headed out to Catoctin Mountain Park, near Thurmont, Maryland.
I'll let the following pictures do the talking:

Day 18, Friday, 10/8/10
What happened today?... Oh yeah, I drove my beautiful zipcar back to it's spot in the morning and walked to work. After work I went out to Happy Hour with my friends from work and got some dank ass Bloody Marys and sweet potato fries at The Rowhouse. Then Lauren gave me a ride home and I hell of slept.
Day 17 - Thursday, 10/7/10
Today was a day of traveling to the extreme. I rode my bike to work, then after work biked over to Tutti Gusti's in Canton for a Pizza Club meeting.
Then, I biked back downtown to pick up the zipcar I reserved. This was my first time, so I felt kind of weird and confused... also I was in a rush and these suburban teens were grilling me about city parking regulations because they "hate driving in Baltimore" it's a real big city, you know. BUT everything worked out, I stuck my bike in the back and took off towards the suburbs for this babysitting gig. The car was amazing. I zipped a Volvo S40 and it was a dream. Oh man, so luxurious, so quiet, so many lit up functions and buttons. I felt wealthy for a short while, and you know what? It felt good. After babysitting (and by "babysitting" I mean knitting while watching The Stepford Wives and that one episode of the X-Files where hyper intelligent metal cockroaches from outer space are killing people) I heading back into the city and picked up Joe. We then zipped to Valentinos, ate up my babysitting money and then went home. What a day! Thanks ZIPCAR!
