Good Luck Tom.

My first hope is that the people down that way are ok. My second is that the hurricane looses strength by the time it gets there like the news says. My third is that gas prices come back down by mid-next week. I'm so sick of price gouging.

Do you think God is trying to tell you something?

good luck Tom

You don't live in a Gas producing nation. That I know of anyway. Plus, you probably get taxed way higher. You have it easy though in that a lot of people over here have to commute a distance the size of half of England or bigger to get to work everyday. I imagine that most people in Europe have much better access to public transportation and closer commuting to where it is you work.

Let's not turn this into a gas discussion though, it's much too depressing.

Guess it depends on the area. Up here where I live there's a light rail system (ie underground system) and loads of buses with lots of travel pass options. Everything is very reliable unless it snows heavily. One of the companies that runs many of the London buses is based here, so that's probably why it works well. Plus it's highly subsidised and integrated by a regional transport authority.
