My Simple Lifestyle --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon 27 Nov 2023 - One's Authentic Self It means something to be one's authentic self in a society that is generally phony, pretentious, and with ulterior motives. Wed 15 Nov 2023 - Not so Simple Sometimes A motor vehicle collision right in front of where I was waiting for the bus. I was nearly hit by flying debris. Once assured there was no fire or injuries, I made my way to another bus stop. Please drive carefully. Tue 07 Nov 2023 - What does it mean in terms of getting around? Walking 0.9 miles to the bus stop most weekday mornings, sometimes in Daylight Savings Time darkness over treacherous sidewalks in an overgrown neighborhood. Requesting a hour annual leave each weekday so I can meet up with a car-pool going through downtown, where I can walk home from the location that is my drop-off point. Limited access to goings-on in a automobile-centric regressive redneck suburbia that is the city in which I live and with little or no empathy from motor vehicle owners. Economic freedom from the expense of ownership, maintenance, insurance, fuel, any and every other expense that goes along owning and operating any kind of motor vehicle. Emancipation from slavery to a status-seeking ego machine that's tied to an extractive fossil-fuel economy that powers a 100-plus year old propulsion technology. Being that much farther removed from the environmental degradation linked to our pathological dependencies on fossil fuels and most privately-owned motor vehicles. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Created and Updated with the Vim Text Editor www.vim.org
