Give me a break

Today I worked from home while my car was in the shop getting a brake job. A rode the bus from and to the shop. It had been awhile since I last rode the bus and it was a pleasant enough experience all things considered. The #9 Express to Capitol Hill comes around every 30 minutes or so and gets me to Broadway and Madison in about 20.

Well, the brake job turned into quite a nightmare. When it was all said and done, I calculated that I could ride a peak fare bus 543 times for the same amount of money it cost to fix the brakes on my 12 year old car. Ouch. Owning a car seems like a really stupid thing today.

I know! Sell it. Get all your bus fare back, plus an ipod, or something. :)
