1. Yes, I walked. Why do you have a picture of Wilford Brimley in your post?

2. I rode the bus
and have bought Exxon gas only once or twice (and then cause I had no choice) in the past 20 years. I pay more for gas to avoid buying Exxon. Not that it really makes a difference but it makes me feel better.

3. It was a solar powered bus right?
Please tell me that you don't drive out of your way to avoid buying Exxon gas.

That seems a bit self-defeating since we know all the oil companies are a big collusion anyway.

7. I think it is an electric powered bus
I used to walk but switched jobs so now I have to ride the bus. I take the light rail home.

No, I don't drive out of my way to avoid buying Exxon gas but I've never lived where I didn't have a lot of options all about equal distance from home or work - the times I've "had" to buy Exxon have been when I'd have to drive out of my way to avoid it or it was the only gas available on a road trip. I have paid more to avoid Exxon gas.

I realize the whole collusion thing which is why I said it doesn't make a difference but it makes me feel better.

4. I drove a big gas guzzling SUV with the AC on while eating
a giant raw cheeseburger with fries fried in real fat and a chocolate shake to top it off. Then I threw the trash on the highway while lighting 2 cigarettes at once, and I kept them lit while walking into a smoke free building. After work I drove home drunk while rolling a joint and steering with my knee. Ass.
