[Julie J]

Jennifer,

I also live in a rural area.  My town is something like 6,000 or 7,000 
people and it is the largest in the county.  We have no busses or public 
transportation of any sort in town.  Last I knew we had one lonely cab with 
limited availability.

But the thing is that I choose to live here.  I choose to walk 30 minutes to 
get places I need to be.  I choose to hire a driver if I need to.  I choose 
to car pool to get to out of town meetings.  And yes, sometimes my husband 
or in-laws will drive me, which cost me a favor that I need to repay.  If 
those weren't choices I was willing to live with, I'd choose to live in a 
bigger city with public transportation.

When the rubber meets the road, everything is a choice.

Julie
