My prescription for living without a car is simple: move to New York, preferably as close to Manhattan as possible.

I’d prefer suicide as a prescription.

Fortunately, there is a clear alternative for those of us too sane for Manhattan: horses. The last time I checked, the ones around here have only a limited need for oil. Lots of hay, though.

I’m sure it’s a great idea…if you live in Chicago…New York or any other number of huge cities.

It’s 3 miles to the state line.

9 miles to the nearest form of civilization, which consists of a Post Office, a flower shop that’s open 3 days a week, a high school, a middle school and an Elementary school all of which are side by side. And nothing else.

A touch over 14 to the nearest convenience store.

About 30 miles to the nearest Wal Mart.

27 miles to a grocery store of any form.

And on average 32 miles to my job.

Yeah I can a “car-less” lifestyle in my future /sarcasm.
