[dvs] I'm counting

[Jean Haskell]

Of course I will sign up, though it's easy for me as I
live in the middle of the city and walk everywhere or take
the bus.  When I need a car, once a week or so, I call on
Philly Car Share.  My own car flooded out over a year ago
and I feel very good that I have not purchased another
car.
