Naw. She's 40. Some people just don't have reflexes for driving and know it. Some people do it anyway and those are the people you see who get 30 fender benders. Also by not driving she saves us probably 10 grand a year in insurance, gas, and auto maintenance. We live in a small town anyway, so driving is pretty much unimportant.

My dad did say that I would be a taxi for the rest of my life when I told him she didn't drive, but also he married someone 30 years younger than him to be his nurse maid for the rest of his life, so he's a bit of a hypocrite.

Yeah, and demand for fresh potable water is only likely to grow.

However thawing meltwaters from glaciers and icepacks may counter out some of that salinity. I'm not quite up on the ocean science for that though at present.
