Got A Car!!!

[Sailor Steve]

Thanks. Tonight will see on of the other advantages. On Thursday nights we get together at the local hobby shop to play wargames. 'Local' is just a word. The place is actually about 12 miles away. I leave home just after 16:00 so I can walk to the 7-11 and get money for dinner, plus change for the bus. I catch the bus at 16:30 which gets me to the train downtown at about 17:00. That gets me to the proper station at about 17:40, from which I have a 20-minute walk to the shop. I'm there at 18:00, leaving me an hour to sit at the burger place next door and eat, read and talk for a hour until we start gaming at 19:00. It also gives me time to make up if the bus is late, and I don't get there until 18:30 or later.

Tonight I'll leave at 17:30, drive for 20 minutes and be there an hour early. I also won't have to expect a friend to give me a ride home anymore. Also it's nice because it's snowing again. I won't have to stand out in the snow and rain and walk a mile in that weather. The car is warm and it has all wheel drive.

Life is good.
