Years
ago, a friend of mine, who for quite some time had been
confined
to a wheel chair, told me not to give up my car. One
day
you may need to escape, he warned. Look at me, I am trapped
in
my disability and unable to leave. Keep your car, he repeated over
and
again, in case there is the need to get away. For a time I did
keep
my vehicle functional and legal should I ever have a necessity
for
an urgent and speedy getaway. But the time came, and due to the
onset
of physical liabilities, driving a car has exceeded the limits of
my
capabilities. And from this time forward, I now find that there was
no
way I could have ever driven far or fast enough to escape this old
age
predicament of mine. Besides, my license has expired, and I can no
longer
tolerate the lines and wait at the damned DMV.
