This was right before gas jumped from 1.15 to about 2.00 (on a good day) per gallon. I think I learned more about myself and the world by doing that than a lot of other things. Now, I wish I could do so more, and explore more the new place I live, but I just can't justify it when I'm already driving 400+ miles a week as a commute. And commuting isn't the same as "driving."
