Hopefully Part of a Growing Trend

The A.P. has a story about a man in Sheboygan, Wisconsin who's giving up gas for 31 days. He refuses car rides from friends unless they're already in the neighborhood. I lived in Madison for four years and appreciate how hot it gets in the summer. The 9-mile summer commute to work must be pretty intense. His motivation:

"I think just with the gas prices being so high, everybody complains about it but no one ever really does anything about it," LaFave said. "People continue to drive nonstop and not think about it, but I just wanted to take a stand and say, `I'm not gonna pay this much money for gas.'"

Amen!
