Neither of us have spent more than glancing careens through New England population centers in our lives. We were on our way to visit a friend on the coast of Maine with an intention of crashing Nick's front porch party on the way by, for some egg-salad sandwiches when Mary's back went sideways. We've been doing urgent care/medical imaging/accupuncture/physical therapy instead. She's recovering well and may likely avoid surgery. It is just as well with COVID spiking again... we were planning an Amtrak run supplemented by a rental car and might have been able to avoid the worst of the gambit ( not so much our own risk, but the risk of stirring pots best left under-stirred and becoming vectors ourselves ). I read that Amtrak style travel clocks in at 1/2 the carbon footprint of air-travel... I'm surprised it is not better. In either case, it doesn't fit well into my aspiration of joining (spiritually) the 2000 Watt Society<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000-watt_society>. The more formidable target of a 500W Society (to achieve a carbon-neutral humanity with lots of assumptions) doesn't likely leave any room for long-distance travel unless it is roughly by-foot (bring back the Mormon Handcart<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_pioneers#Travel_conditions>?) Maybe DaveW can get a friend to haul him into his favorite hot-spring that way without the noise and erosion and fumes of an ATV?
