Amongst the other crisis we are going thru, gas too seems to be news.  I know that being able to afford and drive a SUV has always been a choice of freedom, but...  Maybe it is time we began to meet our neighbors, get to know who they are, get to know their names?  Take walks, ride bicycles...car pool?  Our society has hit bottom I think.  Crime is very high, just like job losses.  Illegal drugs is the choice method for escapism from the worries of today, and like most bad choices makes things worse.  Go to the library, lots of free stuff there, free movies, books, read something...  Go back to church, synagogue, mosque...  Meet people there too.  You'd be surprised how helpfull new friends can be, it's reciprocal of course, help them they help you, you help someone else...  Things have gotten out of hand and life seems to always get to a point where adjustments are forced upon us.  So to now.  Make the best of it.  Get to know  your kids too and what they are in to.  It isn't often we are given a chance to change our lives for the better.  Why not use it while we have it.  Less use of gasoline, less cars, less pollution, less greenhouse gases, less CO2 imprint...  We Americans always used to pull together during crisis.  What makes this any different?  Let's make Ohio a bicycle safe zone, put in bicycle paths right alongside all our streets?  Ours is the fatest country in the world, with a huge population of overweight people, Ohio is ranked what in this?  Here is another chance to change, lose weight, get healthy...  Only positives if you look for them and use them.  Right?  Of course, this advice won't be for everyone.  Sometimes I wish I could delete my other blogs...
