That is a good point! For a brief time, when my job required a lot of
driving, I did own a BMW 3-series.

It is easy for me to complain since I don't have children, and most
likely never will. I always wonder if I would cave in during similar
circumstances?

Me too. I'm not a big fan of huge crowded events, and going to movie
theaters today is a no go as well, since they are full with people
shouting and talking through the movie.

I vote 100% for your concept of a portable music player in the country
side!

I have a dream, when happily settled, to work out a deal with the local
super market and/or farmer to enable drone delivery to myself, so I
could reduce my driving as well. A daily walk or two to the nearby lake
for some fishing is all the exercise I require. ;)
