[Blindtlk] To Drive or not to Drive: that is the question

[Michelle Medina]

I'm all for driving, period. I am in the country and don't have access
to public transportation so expensive or not, driving will definitely
figure in my future down the road. I don't know how far down the road,
but it will be a part of it for me personally.

"Now I'll take the blame,
So forget my name.
Just close the blinds,
So I can come down. . .
I'm naked and shamed,
Moth to the flame.
Just take my hand,
So we can both drown. . ."
