Car free month, the finale

So, today is the first day after the completion of the car free month. I still took the train in, because it is just so much less annoyance to walk over to the train stop and hop the train/bus into work. I only had a half day at work today, so walked back to the train stop, and headed home for lunch. After that, I drove out east, south of Gresham, to visit a hashpoint. On the way back, I stopped to get a new pair of shoes and some cleaning supplies.

The general synopsis of the car free month is this:

1. I like riding the train into work. It is a much less stressful way to get to and from work, even on my short commute.
2. I really don't like shopping via transit. It really sucks.
3. Geohashing, and sometimes sf0 tasking, really should be done with a car. Its just the nature of those activities that often a car is, if not required, then still very nice to have.
4. If I decide to buy a house/townhouse in the upcoming months, I want to keep myself relatively close to a train station, because transit into work is now my preferred way to get there.

From now on, I will probably drive into work once a week, so that I can go out to lunch, and so that I can go shopping on my way home from work.

Car free days 29 & 30

On the 29th day, I rode the train in (as usual), but had a company celebration for the completion of a project, so got a ride from a friend. On the way back, I drove his car back to his place, and rode the train from there.

The last day of the experiment was very typical, except that as I was walking out the door of the office, I saw the bus pulling up, so I ran up to catch it, and rode it home instead of walking.
