    However, in June, 2022...dry corneas were causing my vision to
    blur without warning...so I gave up driving, and sold my car. Now,
    if I have errands, I have to:

    1) Take Lyft (although with a shortage of drivers at times, a round
    trip can run $100).

    That's still way cheaper than being the owner of a vehicle and all the expenses/costs that entails.

    Hello Daryl!

    Hi, August...

    That's still way cheaper than being the owner of a vehicle and
    all the expenses/costs that entails.

    This is true...but when you're on a fixed income, you have to save
    everywhere you can.

    As the saying goes, "I'm only one step away from being rich. All I
    need is money". <G>
