Here I live in a large urban city, but if I worked anywhere here that I have the last 20 years - even the closest one - I don't think I would be able to afford to drive to work five days a week, and all but two places I worked (and one of those only briefly) are too far out for public transportation. So, thank goodness, I guess, for being poor and working from home. I don't generally pay all that much attention to prices at the grocery and stuff, but I couldn't help but notice on my last trip for several necessities that virtually almost everything I have to buy regularly has increased significantly just in the past three or four WEEKS. It's a darn good thing I barely eat and usually only once a day, if even that. If I ate meals and worked like "normal" people, I'd be totally screwed. Rachel, SQ (and Homer) just say no to ‘Coma having one because they think they’ll break her neck on one. :P
