Why I don't own a car

Well, I don't really need one, except when I want to drive someplace out of town. I can get around the City of Chicago very easily, though bus and train and cab. This is a good thing, as well, as I don't get as much road rage(and I got into a doozy of a tiff when I was heading back from my grandparents'. People were slowing down for the highway helper and a cop helping a broke-down motorist. Traffic on the Eisenhower stopped. Completely. I was, needless to say, pissed.

This incident soured an otherwise perfect weekend. I had fun. It was extremely pleasant to see my family.

I'm off to go grocery shopping. Why not? It's the only other reason I would want a car.
