I did have one, but was such a bad driver..combined with my depth perception problem, that i thought it was best to just not drive. I would never allow my children to be in a car where i was behind the wheel...<BR/>I still do most of the house errands...I bike, walk, or use public transit...<BR/>I could drive if the need arose in an emergency situation. Knock wood, that has never occurred.kimbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202011517037727838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-52284984106217454252008-07-04T18:52:00.000-04:002008-07-04T18:52:00.000-04:00Not driving is how I handle Seattle too. :PKimby, ...Not driving is how I handle Seattle too. :P<BR/><BR/>Kimby, do you not drive in that you don't have a driver's license?

No parking to worry about when you are taking public transit.

Most folks who work in downtown Seattle take mass transit and walk in the city core - it's set up really well as a walking city and horribly for driving.<BR/><BR/>The streets have parking from 9-4 but during rush hours -7-9 and 4-6 - it's no parking and cars are towed.<BR/><BR/>One of our forms of entertainment from our office windows is watching the 4:10 towings and subsequent angry drivers. Yes, it's a small and petty thing, but hey, we work in IT.<BR/><BR/>So no, Nathan, you're not stupid, just learning a step at a time. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-48247208130240761032008-07-03T16:58:00.000-04:002008-07-03T16:58:00.000-04:00Parking was one of our major activities in Honolul...Parking was one of our major activities in Honolulu. Entire schedules revolved around the times posted on the little signs that told us when we had to move the car. There was the street cleaning no-parking times, then there were times when meters were free and when they weren't, and how long you could park at any given meter before you had to go somewhere else. Occasionally we saw spots that were completely free - but they were almost always taken (and thus not free). <BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, walking to and from the car was also one of our major activities, since we always had to park at least ten blocks from the hotel.MWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446603415730525882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-51068169431885254912008-07-03T13:35:00.000-04:002008-07-03T13:35:00.000-04:00The wheels on the bus go... uh.
