Car sharing with my friend Patience [2]

I am up early because I have slept 3.5 hours and that's how it seems to be with me now. I had the alarm set for 3:30 am because I am picking up Patience from a Greyhound bus terminal at 4 am.

I dropped her off at the terminal on Sunday night at midnight. She went to Melbourne overnight, which took eight hours, and spent the next three days with her family. I had the use of her car for three days as part of the deal, but I was able to do everything on my bicycle.

We both do this for the environment. Soon we will begin to feel the effects of Peak Oil and those who learn to adapt ahead of the crisis will fare best. Patience was visiting one of her two grandchildren.
