The Ride Fridays contingent just got bigger! Monday I had to go to Chicago with a co-worker for a day-long research seminar and in planning our logistics I discovered that this co-worker is right on my daily commute and very near the bus route. Now I have a carpool buddy on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and, hopefully with a bit more arm-twisting, a new bus buddy on Thursdays and Fridays!
Oh, and I represented today and took bus 013 from my Park & Ride to my office. I need to throw a notebook in the Jeep so I can track how often I buy gas these days. Used to be every Wednesday afternoon before school. Yesterday was Wednesday and I still have a half a tank (and yeah, that includes my trip to the airport and back)!
I have to admit the most fun yesterday was riding my bike to the local pub after my Business Law final last night. Although there was no bike rack in front I managed to find a large stationary object to serve as a bike rack. I enjoyed a couple of Fat Tires out of sincere appreciation for the environmental work the folks at New Belgium are doing and then headed for home.
Bigger, Rideier, Fridayer...

I save gas receipts in the car(s), and keep them together with binder clips -- the dates are circled.
Winters, I need to get gas about every nine days; while it's 13 or so in the summer (some fuel blending issue, I'm sure).
It's fun to see how far you can stretch these days when you "ride" every so often ...
