I'm not really doing anything different than I've done in the past. I stop at the store on my way home from work instead of making special trips out, if I don't have something specific to eat I wait instead of making a special trip to get it, etc etc. Basically just a common sense approach to not wasting gas that, based on talkin to different store clerks, most of the people moving out into this area have no idea how to do. There is absolutely no way you can get to the area I live, other than by air, that you don't pass at least two grocery stores. Still people complain when they get home and then turn around and go back out to the "Country Store" about 3 miles up the road only to find they have to go another four miles, back to one of the same grocery stores they passed on the way home, to get that one item they absolutely couldn't live without. Man their really gonna be in trouble the end of this month when they close the old place down for good and demolish the building after nearly 50 years of being there.......Supposidly the crack in the back wall and some other minor problems common to a building that old have made it so "unsafe" that they can no longer operate there, and trying to repair them would make the building have to meet new codes which it'll never do....but that's just another sad story about the loss of the country way of life to "city ways" and new development.........
