I Can't Drive 55

I can't drive 55 mph in a golf cart, and that is all I am driving these days. Since it's the 4th, I'll make it my tribute to America. I'm going green, conserving oil, reducing pollution. Acutally, I would love to stay I'm avoiding my car for the betterment of mankind, but I just can't stand to get in that hot tin box anymore. I live about 20 miles out of town, and I drove at least three hours a day this last winter. We only have a little store with high prices across the street, so I've decided to go to the internet.

I ordered my groceries from Safeway.com last week. I was happy with it. They were delivering for free last week on orders of $150 or more. The driver refused to take a tip per company policy. They had next day service available, and the driver brought all my groceries up the stairs.

I also needed school supplies, so I went to Staples.com. I think I ordered enough for the year. They also deliver quickly and for free on orders over $50.

I haven't received my Hanes.com order yet, but I needed underwear, and I never get to underwear shop with two kids. I keep putting it off, so I might as well just get that on-line too.

The upside of this is I had extra time for some recreational walking this week. I am going to try to find even more ways to not leave my little community. If I can order it in, I'm going to. Maybe by the time I need to go to town again, there will be an electric car that can go 55. Happy 4th of July.
