[stylist] Here's my attempt at being tactile tothefolkswhowanteverything for nothing

Sun Feb 2 06:08:42 UTC 2014

Transportation is part of the reason Ross and I choose to live in a
bigger city. Personally, I would love to live in a bigger city like
Chicago or even New York City, but I was born and raised in the city,
whereas Ross grew up in the country, literally, smile. But most cities
provide various types of transit making it more convenient when a car
and driver are not available. Obviously, people live where they live and
have their reasons, and there's pros and cons to any situation. Like
I've said, Ross and I really don't have support in the way of
transportation, so a lot of our life choices revolve around this issue.

This would be my situation, too, living on the opposite side of PA. The
only 
cab here would be about an hours drive from where we live. So, it isn't 
possible at all.  I guess one solution would be to have a full time
driver, 
and keep him in a carriage house on the property - at my beck and call.
haha 
just kidding about that.  Lynda
