Good to hear you again TABS, you've been remarkably silent lately!
BTW- My grandparents never owned a car for same reasons mentioned above. Walked/rode Cabs/Trains (pre-amtrak) everywhere. As a kid who has never been in an economy with currency tied to a gold standard, the irony is not lost.
Our grandparent's education forged an importance on learning, which was pressed upon my father, who put his face to the grindstone, got one, and benefitted from it. I was fortunate enough to get the same education as my dad. It certainly helped, but not to the degree that it benefitted my father.
