Hello, friends!
It appears as though there is a difference between the words "peddle" and "pedal." I'm not sure why I didn't figure this out earlier. Of course, if I was a little more intelligent, I would have kept up the ruse and led everyone to believe that I was super witty and made a pun. Alas, I am could not, I am not, and I did not. =0).
That's epiphany number one. The second epiphany is that since I bought Sulu, I've been spending a lot more time on campus. Part of this could be because I love being on campus and love being with students. Part of it could also be because it's the beginning of the year and I need to spend more time on campus in order to start the year off right. But, I think that this blog has something to do with it.
See, as my sister Chrissie "The Kid" pointed out, I don't actually go all that many places! I go to campus, I go downtown, I go to shopping occasionally, and that's pretty much it. Columbia is such a small city that I can get anywhere I need to go within 5 miles. It's a pretty sweet deal from a biking standpoint. But, from a penny peddling standpoint, I don't get a whole lot of pennies by driving 4 miles a day. When you add in that my car gets great mpg, the pennies are even harder to come by!
However, where I do save a ton of cash in on meters. Those dollars add up, friends! Well, the best way for me to save meter money is for me to spend time on campus. So, I spend more time on campus and everyone wins!
Here are today's stats:
Places traveled: Campus, Plasma, Kui for lunch, and back to campus.
Distance traveled: Google Maps says 5.1 miles ($.49)
Meter: On Campus 4 hours ($4) + Downtown 2 hours ($1.20)
Grand Total for the day: $5.69
Grand Total so far: $48.11
Left to save: $532.51
Happy Biking!
