The Switch is On.

As part of my move to San Diego, I cannot take my City Car Share membership with me as they do not serve the area.  So I set myself up with Zipcar.

So far, it has worked out well.  I have been able to mitigate the higher cost of using Zipcar by getting prepaid cards at my friendly, neighborhood Costco.  I also like the wider variety of vehicles available (even though they are a little larger and harder to park -a major consideration in San Francisco.)

Zipcar also has a feature that would drive Rick nuts if he were still around.  The phone app does double duty as a key fob, which means it serves as the remote for the car.  It happens to be my favorite feature!

And speaking of phones, I still have a land line.  The phone attached to it does little more than make a phone call (and that is difficult to find!)  Rick always rolled the eyes in the back of his head when I used some kind of app on my phone, and say, "I am taking care of x over the phone."  He was expecting some sort of conversation rather than taps of a screen.

That said, he did appreciate it when I could show him pictures of last year's Castro Street Fair which he could not attend due to his recovering from a stroke.

So it's on to finishing going through everything.
