Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Since being retired, I have noticed that some folks drive a LOT. What do you mean, you ask? Well, we live on a dead-end street that has 4 houses beyond ours. Our office/desk top computer area has large picture windows that overlooks the front of the house and the street. On days that I spend 3 or 4 hours in the office area, I will see that a few of the neighbors will come and go several times a day. When I say "several times a day", I mean that to be 10 or more times, in a SINGLE DAY. Sometimes, they will come and go 3 or 4 times in a single hour!
I really don't get it. We are about 2 miles from the neighborhood entrance, so it's a good 5 minutes just to get out of the neighborhood and then another 5-7 minutes to even get to the closest store. Perhaps we have several Uber drivers in the neighborhood?
I know it's none of my business, but I tend to think that it's just a big waste of time and gas. If I am leaving the house, I will try and group any errands I might have to run. Up until my Dad's recent health issues...it wasn't uncommon for my car to sit in the garage for 3 or 4 days before I had to go anywhere. Now, I pay visits to my Dad on a daily basis...but I do combine that trip with any errands I might have to run, so I usually only "come and go" once a day.
But...it's Monday...my favorite day of the week...so really, it's not a big deal!
