Well, I do advocate some of the above, however I usually travel at or just
above (within 10 kph)
the speed limit. AT the limit, if Mrs. Sharx is present. I am big for
combining chores into ONE trip a
week. I just can't see, with modern refrigeration, the need to buy ANY
groceries more than just
ONCE a week. The old European habit of buying produce, bread etc fresh
every day
is for people lacking lives, with too much time on their hands.
