And please, let's be more responsible in our gasoline use. I live in a very mild climate; we get lots of rain and moderate amounts of sun and if we're lucky, half an inch of snow a year. Yet when I go to round at the hospital, half the spaces in the physician parking lot are SUV's, most of which are sparkling clean and probably never leave town. Half of the rest are minivans, and there are a few sports cars. I putt in there in my little Saturn and look lost.

SUV's scare me, anywhere; they're a menace to those of us out there on the highway in compact cars trying to be responsible.
