In Palo Alto California I thought I'd never see people begin to walk and ride bikes. The people here are just so "Meet the Joneses" and too
egotistical in their minds stoop to the level of walking, riding a bike or bus. They just have to show everyone that they are more successful than the
other person looking at them.
Pretty miserable life they are living and they don't even realize that way of thinking is whats making them miserable.
But, to my amazement at 4.53 a gallon for the cheapest regular and 5.00 for the expensive regular I'm seeing more pedestrian and bikes along side of
the road.
I guess that is the price that puts peoples ego in place for this area. Now if they could just do without the multi-million dollar houses that they
are too busy to spend time in because they are working there life away to make the mortgage payments they would be a lot happier with their life.
