Yeah, I'm one of those independent Yankees, never think about asking for help. You've reminded me that when I was musing about this last year a coworker (and VERY dear friend) did say of COURSE you would take my car!

My son (the elder) has taken the red cross course and my daughter is mature in her own right. This seems more of a case of convincing ME that I can fly a little. So many years now of ALWAYS rushing home from work etc.

Of course the try it a little and see makes sense. I've been creating a list of the things I need to make the commute happen. Like getting a headlight/taillight, getting my old Specialized (MTB) a tune up. And then I started thnking of the money we could save in GAS! That could add up.

Thanks, I'm happy I have rediscovered these boards. You're a great community
