No, I don't qualify. I already know that. I did, however, make a
delightful vanilla cake and a big pot of mushroom soup today instead of
sitting on my fat ass in the driveup line at Greaseburger.
Yesterday I went to the bike co-op and had my bike's broken rear axle
replaced. Cost: $10.00
When you add that to the $23 I spent for fenders so I can ride when the
ground is damp it means I still spent less in one year than it costs to
drive one of those things for a day. I will have to buy some more tire
patches pretty soon and maybe some new tubes, which will rack up a
mammoth six to nine bucks.
Yes, I know exactly what kind of car I should drive. When I have to
carry lumber I drive our station wagon. When I want to buy groceries
etc. up to and including 20 lbs of kitty litter I have two folding
baskets on the back of my bike.

Station wagon? Pah. Go to the Oregon Skin Colour registry. As long there is
someone at least 40% browner than you, you can apply for a slave assignment.
If you have disabilities, you may qualify for a team of up to EIGHT. You
only have to feed them, but peat moss is cheap!

When I have to buy lumber, I pay the lumber yard--which owns a truck
for precisely this purpose--to deliver it to the work site.
Highway robbery, but still cheaper than keeping one of those monsters
parked and fed.

Yeah, but he probably doesn't need enough lumber to qualify as a "work site."

I'm a big fan of the old 3-speed bikes - preferrably Raleighs. I have a few of
them, and I seldom pay more than $10 for one - they're so outrageously
unfashionable. They're rugged enough for our back roads (I live four miles of
gravel from the nearest pavement), I can ride around sitting up and seeing the
sights, yet they're sleek enough to commute to the nearest small town (15 miles
away).
As for the Hummer, it's just too ridiculous for words - please send it back to
the comic book from which it escaped. In Paducah last summer, I saw a Hummer
painted bright yellow, and with advertising stuck on it! How can anyone think
they're going to economize by dealing with a company that has that kind of
money to toss out the window? How do you think they pay for it?

The concept had potential. Too bad the execution was so lame and not
particularly funny. Apparently this "George Washington Hayduke" thinks
he's a lot funnier than he in fact actually is....
