Who delivers at 6 much less 5 freaking 30 in the am ?!? &#8230;in the dark in the country. That&#8217;s the kind of thing that gets someone accidently shot.<br \/>\nNot by me, mind you, cause I was asleep, but I have neighbors with shotguns that they have been known to pull out if someone looks suspicious. I&#8217;m talking about a moving truck pulling up to my house in the middle of the night and two grown men getting out while one stays in the truck to be the lookout \/ getaway driver suspicious&#8230;and before you ask, yes, they were wearing hoodies &#8211; it is actually somewhat chilly at 5:30am! They unloaded the washer and went on their merry way.<br \/>\nThen, I got ready for work.<br \/>\nThen, I got into my Nissan Leaf and was excited that I was going to be fairly on time for work on account of the delivery people showing up before the arse crack of dawn.<br \/>\nThen, I sat in traffic&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8230;for<br \/>\n&#8230;two<br \/>\n&#8230;hours.<br \/>\nOn the upside, I grew 5 trees and only used 40% of a charge. Man, I love this car! Because if you have to sit in traffic for two hours, you should at least have twice your personal record of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nissan.co.uk\/GB\/en\/YouPlus\/welcome_pack_leaf\/eco_virtual_trees.html\">trees<\/a> to show for it! It was nice to think of all the gas money I&#8217;d saved!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/5-Trees-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"5 Trees\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/5-Trees-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/5-Trees-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/5-Trees.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nPs.
