Hi JJ!
Your note to Sandy sounded very nice and thoughtful. You must be a nice person! I found your comment about not driving very interesting. I'm almost the same way. I'm 76 and don't drive anymore than I have to and I'm not sure why. Part of it is because my 81 year old husband is a wonderful driver and does all the driving. He loves it! I used to love driving but now it makes me nervous. We live in Edmonds WA which is 15 miles north of Seattle. We have Seattle's bad traffic and now, the crime is creeping in too. I think it's the bad traffic that bothers me the most about driving. What made you quit driving? I don't want to take the bus because they let the homeless who are mostly drug addicts ride free! In fact, even the taxi's aren't safe. The drivers are often high on marijuana which is legal in Washington State or on something else that is not legal but the authorities act like it is and ignore the usage of it! We finally found a limousine service that was reputable and safe to use as a taxi when we needed it; mainly for medical appointments when my husband couldn't drive to them. I will keep driving but it is a challenge. However, when I do drive I enjoy it! Does that make sense?
I would be interested in your comments.
Have a nice day!
