Car sharing

Just when I was seriously thinking about rejoining the (car)rat race, it looks like Salt Lake City and Utah Transit Authority (UTA) in league with U Haul are joining up to introduce car sharing to Utah. I think I will hold off a few more months and see what gives with the program. The only drawback that I see so far is that the cars will most likely be located in the central corridor at TRAX stations. The article does mention that vehicles will also be at the University of Utah, so here's hoping that the program will have more convenient locations for most folks. One would hope that they will realize that the cars should be placed near where people live, rather than where they pass through or work at. These cars, after all, will mostly be used by consumers who don't want to lug goods from stores to their homes on public transit.

The blur of the road. The smoke of the fires. Some much road ahead. So much road behind.

Friend Nathan took this in Korea. I don't believe they are much different here in the U.S.A.

Robin update

The robin chicks have all fledged. One was seen hopping about on the busy street out front, and some neighborhood girls rescued it. I am uncertain if the parent robins continued to feed it, however, given the human scent I'm sure it carried. One would hope that birds would not be so snobby.
