Unfortunately, all we have is our little Toyota Echo. The weekend after the sale, my in-laws visited and they had a truck. I decided to call the estate people, and it turns out the beds were still there. Best part - $50 took them both. It feels good to get some great deals :) We were fortunate enough to find a nice set of bunk beds at an estate sale for a decent price ($100 – 2 mattresses included).

Also, there's been a lot of media coverage about the increase in carpools and much larger than normal bus ridership. FWIW, I also read on another PF blog (can't remember the name) that the D.C. area is forecasting there will be no need for price increases for (at least) the next few years because of a much higher number of riders than normal. FINALLY! Are americans actually starting to get it as far as mass transit goes!!!? Jeez. . . now that we're only about 50 years behind Europe, people start to see the benefits of pooling resources and reducing consumption. . . I wish gas would hit $5 a gallon (which I bet it will, by this summer) to really give the clueless among us a gut check. However, I know that those who suffer the most from fuel increases are (typically) the working poor and the middle class. So. . . I guess I'll just be careful what I wish for. . . in my region (southwest U.S. — where temperatures are already close to 100), mass transit ridership is (supposedly) way up.

I often wish I had a truck to pick up furniture that's been left out for trash. Sometimes it just needs a coat of paint and new fixtures. Other times, I'm really glad I don't have one since my apartment would be overrun. That’s great! I often wish I had a truck to pick up furniture that’s been left out for trash.
