As of 5:30 this afternoon, I am no longer a car owner.

Tomorrow I go to the DMV and surrender my license plates. Then I go to work.

No more giant incontinent puppy! Whee! And it's going to someone in the construction jobs program, so they'll have transportation to and from job sites away from the Newark area, so that's good too.

Huzzah!

First clean planet challenge: getting to the DMV this morning sans car, and then back again. It's all slope to get there so I don't think going by skate is practical, but eh. We'll see. When I get the chance I'm going to buy a commuter bike, preferably one with internal gearing and a driveshaft system instead of chains and the usual derailleur.

Just walk my friend. My suburb is like San Fran bloody Sisco, it's all up-hill, even the down-hill bits.

Which is what I wound up doing, a nice 1.5 mile walk through parts of Jersey City that I'd previously only driven. In the process I discovered something that one simply does not notice when traveling by car, namely: the DMV is about two blocks from the Journal Square PATH station, which meant that after I turned in my plates, I crossed over the railroad tracks, took a quick left, walked past the Dunkin Donuts, and got on the same train to go to work that I normally take from home.

Cars. Feh.
