I have few possessions, only what I carry with me in one bag and a Xootr.com folding bicycle, a gift from friends. For the moment, I am a 24/7 caretaker for my cancerous 95% bedridden wheelchair rolling dad. I only use his car to take him to his array of Doctor's and his one weekly outing, a game of bridge. I do the rest of the shopping and getting around solo on my bike.
