Back to Basics

So I know I've been lazy about blogging, but it's mostly because I've been lazy about riding the Rapid. First I used the excuse that Public Square was a mess because of the water main break. Then I used the excuse that it takes too long, I rode the Rapid one day last week and it really doesn't take much longer at all. Maybe a few minutes. Monday I filled up tank for 50 bucks, 50 whopping bucks. Four years ago it cost 50 bucks to fill up my father-in-law's gas guzzling SUV. I swore up and down I would ride the Rapid this week because I refuse to pay an additional 50 bucks to fill up my tank again this month. So far it hasn't convinced me to take PT. Today on my way down Chester I was behind a guy, in a suit, on a Vespa, I felt like I was in Italy again!!! Minus the 50,000 other cars on the street. I think it was my sign, I MUST get back into riding the Rapid. If I cut just one tank of gas per month, I'd cover my flight to Nashville by July!! Here's to getting myself together in enough time to catch the Rapid tomorrow!
