My father passed away, so my mother has to rely on family and friends whenever she needs to go anywhere. It's very depressing for her to be so dependent. <br />And I just have to giggle. If you've ever read "The Medieval Machine" there is a chapter about the argument in Rome to not build the aquifers because it would put the water dippers out of work. Man adapts my friend...don't fear positive progress.
