[Christ]

I used to love riding bikes... then I moved to the country, where the nearest store is a 3 mile trek, and that's the most expensive store you can go to (even if you count the extra fuel to go another 7 miles to a city.) As a result, I got my license, and never looked back, until recently. I'm looking into building a decent recumbent reverse trike with a motor that qualifies in PA as a "motorized bicycle" by law (obviously, not by definition, since bicycle implies two wheels). This will get me decent speed pedaling the short trips, and if I need to go more than a few miles, I'll kick in the motor and get 100 MPG getting there, and probably more using P&G and other HM tactics. I'd ideally love to get a 2 cycle diesel engine and use it, so that I could brew my own fuel, but I'm not sure how well that will work out.

I'm not a vegetarian, I'm a cheap-ivore.

I enjoy meat, but I don't enjoy paying the outrageous grocery store prices for it. As a result, I usually buy my meat from dairy farmers and the like that are thinning their herds, or I get grass-fed beef/pork locally. Recently, I haven't been doing this, but it's more for the fact that I get groceries for a family of 5 who eat like food is a given, not a gift. (That's putting it politely.)

Cows contribute to global warming, probably moreso than cars in many cases.
