My first trip to the Blogosphere

So, it has been about 6 months without a car. Although I have had much to say during this time, translating that into our Blog has taken me some time. I will begin by saying how grateful I am that I could even "make" this kind of decision. I/we do not have much disposable income, so the money would have come from what we would hope to be some future savings or we would do like many Americans and make payments to add to our monthly bills...or, most likely, we would do both. But, we do have options...when I ride the bus to work, I am riding with many who do not have this option, this is not an "interesting" experiment, it is their life. So, I want to begin by recognizing that I am not doing anything remarkable.
