confessions of a car wimp

I don't like cars. I think they are just fine for short trips, but I really don't like them for longer trips.

I don't like driving -- so many idiots, all poised to do great bodily harm if not murder.

I will take car trips of an hour or so by myself to go do something fun, but I don't enjoy the trip part.

Going to MSU by myself is really not how I enjoy spending a day. It's about an hour and a third, each way, and then being there is not exactly enjoyable or relaxing, despite all the efforts to make it pleasant.

Compared to a lot of people who find themselves at the small animal cancer center, I am a total wimp. Many of the people there have driven for hours and hours, one way, and have spent the night so they can get their beloved companions in to the docs early in the morning. I know I am so much better off.

Nonetheless, I was utterly exhausted on Monday evening.

Here's another oncology center bromeliad.
