Carpool

Have I written about carpooling yet? I'm not sure. However, one of the carpoolers has now seen my blog. Yikes! I had to hide a couple of posts before I sent the link for viewing. Why? Well, nothing is written about said person, but said person might know other persons that could find out and do some research and find some links to some of my other blogs. Another yikes!

Actually, this is a good thing. Really thinking about all the possible people that could get to your blog is good practice in containing the writing a bit.

However, enough about the blog. Carpooling is great. I now leave the house a wee bit early (5:35 a.m.) to meet the carpool at 5:50 a.m. We meet at a mutually agreeable parking lot and drive the next 20-25 miles together. We try quite a few different routes just to see if the shared experiences equal a shorter commute time. At least we know quite a few back-up routes if the situation should arise. We all have great excuses at 3:30 as well. We must "catch the carpool" and so all meetings must be cut short at that time.

Hopefully this endeavor will cut down on the gas a bit as well. I might even spend less than pre-gas gouging.

Now, let's see if some of the carpool antics get part of more blog posts. But, I have to be careful because "what is said in the carpool should stay in the carpool." And this is exactly why you don't know how old, young, tall, short, fat, skinny, male, female, fun, rude, mean, etc. the people are that I ride with to work everyday. However, I will say this...the fact that I'm actually riding with people everyday says they can't be too bad because I do have a motto for people that I feel don't add value or high self-esteem comments to my life - "There is no time for people like that."
