There are some days at our house that the car never leaves the garage...partly because we believe in multi-tasking and partly because we try to conserve fuel.
Borrego is an ideal place for that kind of activity. We always laugh when we say, " You can be anywhere in town in under ten minutes!" But, that is the truth in this small community. We have to pick up mail at the Post Office...no home delivery, here, but have decided we actually don't have to read mail daily. The same for the market. Our garden supplies us with most fresh vegetables and a freezer stores bread, poultry, meats and fish. Our cupboards are well stocked...we can easily manage for several weeks without replenishing. In fact, we are prepared for that much publicized coming disaster!
Not to say there isn't a lot of activity here, though. The neighbor across the street walks to the State Park, where she works in the paleo lab. A bicycle , golf cart or two feet often provide all the equipment you need to get around Borrego! It is said that Borrego is a bicycler's paradise. Sometimes a friend will ask, "Have you seen the new things at the Tumbleweed Traders? ( or the Frugal Coyote, Ocotillo's, Outfitter's, Veteran's Thrift shop ?" ) I must admit, that type question is one I can't resist...BUT, when I back out of the garage, I know I am conserving fuel with the Hybrid Civic!
