It is admirable to live a life without a car, especially in area like this. I never owned a car, but I also lived in places like NYC and Seattle, where doing so was not only possible, but easy to do (NYC more-so than Seattle, but in Seattle they had Flexcar when I lived there - and car sharing in an urban setting is the way to go!). I became permanently and totally disabled in 2007 and had to return to the Capital District to live with my mom. I am unable to drive due to all of the medication I take. I use paratransit (federally mandated public transportation for the disabled in communities where there is public transportation) - but am painfully aware of my carbon footprint's increase due to having to take these small, gas fueled buses to and from where I need to go. When I'm not taking paratransit, I am being driven around by my mom in her car. I recently saved $6 on 2 books of STAR tickets ($30 each) with the Price Chopper FuelAdvantage discount.

Having a child is indeed a second shot or at least a reminder of the magic of childhood. I thought of this yesterday and my 4 year old and myself rode figure 8's and generally raced all around the now empty parking lots of Sage, Albany College of Pharmacy and OPWDD on our BMX bikes. So many childhood 'far away' journeys are actually so close.
