True this. But they provide a freedom that is just not possible without a motorized vehicle. I didn't start driving (believe it or not) until 3 years ago, age 52. I thought I got around just fine, was very handy with public transportation and whatnot, but there's just nothing like making a last minute decision to bail off to places like Crater Lake as I did a couple weeks ago. I can't say as I'm happy with the expense but the freedom is fecking wonderful.

Agreed. As much as I complain about the costs of my car, I couldn't live without it... public transport sucks balls, especially around here.

I'd be up for the job!

Inner city public transport in Melbourne is fine. So if you live in the city, you have no problems - there's busses, trams and trains galore. But the thing with Melbourne is that it has a huge 'urban sprawl' - most residents of Melbourne do not live in the CBD. Depending on which suburb you live in, public transport can be sucky. I used to live in the inner East and it was OK, and in the inner North it was really great as well. Now I live in the outer East and public transport is sucky; I just drive everywhere.

I always find other cities weird because you drive for an hour out of the city and you're in the middle of nowhere. In Melbourne, you drive for an hour and you're still in what would be considered Melbourne. I guess that's part of the problem.

Ughhh I'm fucking sick. Like I think I have the flu or something. My head is practically spinning, my brain feels like it's going to throb it's way out of my skull, and I just feel achy and gross. I HATE THIS.

Aww I'm sorry to hear that my love. I hope it clears fast. Make a drink with lemon, honey and asprin, it will help!

My mom's had pink eye for the last few days and I've refused to touch anything outside of my room with my bare hands ever since. At least it seems to be working. Going to the bathroom and brushing my teeth is a bit of a chore though.
