We Are All Chinese Now

8. Actually, I never did watch “Little House on the Prairie”

On the other hand, I didn’t think much of walking the 4 miles between home and school. (Most of the time I rode the bus or my bike, but… yeah, 4 miles really isn’t that bad, even in an upstate New York Winter.)

I grew up in a village with a “general store.” When two car households became the norm, the “general store” was put out of business by the “super markets” which you could only get to by driving.

The rural North East (at least) is still full of little hamlets, many of them with closed “general stores.” (It really wasn’t all that long ago…)

How will farmers transport their produce? Oh, I expect they will use trucks of some sort.

I don’t subscribe to GliderGuider’s radical vision. The question to me is, do you need to drive a car to go half a mile?
