The pink bits just got pinker

09.21.04 (9:01 pm) [edit]

So, tomorrow is “National Do Without The Car day”. I’m told we’re a few days behind the rest of the world, but nothing new there. All public transport is going to be free, which I think is wonderful!

For me that means I can either take a train to Ronda at 8.45 am and return at 8pm, or I can take a bus to Algeciras at 7.45 am and return at 10 am. Seeing as my appointments are all in “Pleasantville” in the afternoon it makes no difference to my life. Shame.

After lunch today I took Asha Miró onto the roof and fell asleep with her on my chest. Well, obviously not *her* but her book. I’m not sure if it’s translated into English, but if you see “The Girl From The Gangese” anywhere it’s worth a read. However, I woke up looking decidedly pink. Bugger. Not only am I going to be noticeable tomorrow as the rogue driver, I’ll be the driver they’ll all point out as the over exposed on.

It works really well. From 8am to midnight all public transport is free, and anybody using a car is urged to fill it with passengers. Last year the local radio station in the town I was living did several follow-ups and reported more people were using public transport after DWTC day, and lots more "car shares" too. Got to be a good thing!

Seperate Americans from their cars? Are you mad??? lol. Too much of a love affair going on there. Not to mention, the US's public transporation system fairly sucks eggs compared to what we've got going on in Europe... well, some parts of Europe. :)
