Sis, Where's Your Car?
I live in New York City and work at the Long Island Rail Road because I don't believe in cars. That's right, like Peter Pan and fairy dust, they don't really exist. (Although from a philosophical standpoint, Peter Pan and fairy dust really do exist, but that's a topic for another time.) Ok, it's not that I don't realize that there are cars, but more feel that society has become too auto dependent, and I try to live my life in an auto-free way.
Today, however, I admit it would have been good to have a car. My weekly shopping included many bulky and heavy items, thus in turn requiring a handful of trips to the stores. The stores are all within easy walking distance, but a car would have reduced the trips to, let's see now, one! Oh, Lesley, where are you when you and your car are needed?

My car and I are both in Hoboken. Where are you?
But anyway, the supermarkets in your neighborhood don't deliver? They do in both Manhattan and Hoboken. It's not like you live in the suburbs.

Come to think of it, they do deliver. Just never think of it because I'm a macho guy who can lug the stuff home myself!
