It’s costing me close to sixty dollars to fill up my van’s gas tank. My driving habits consist of little more than trips to and from work, so I’m not feeling the same hurt that’s being inflicted on so many suburban commuters. Still, I wish I could do something to ease my own dependence on my admittedly gas-guzzling vehicle. I don’t think a Prius can accommodate my wheelchair and walking the ten miles to and from work is not a realistic option. It might be time to take a cue from Inspector Gadget and invent that personal propeller-based flight system that is powered solely on my excess charm.
