[pianotech] ideas on mileage

[David Love]

It's just a lifestyle choice.  If you want to live in a sparsely populated
area then you accept more driving, probably lower income and probably lower
cost of living to go along with it.  You do what is necessary to make a
living and don't worry about the folks living in an elevated sense of their
own reality who keep telling you that you aren't charging enough.   Most
people who live where Wim does do multiple things to make a living.  It's
just the nature of that economy, and sometimes this one as well.  Sorry if
this doesn't really address the original question.

hi terry

I figure that if I need the work so bad that I have to go long distances,
that's my problem. 
Out here there's lots of distance between towns, with lots of ranch and
farmland in between. If the population were denser(?) in between I
definitely wouldn't be driving this far for work! So basically, I have to.
If I were in Tampa, (where I did live for about a year and half) I can see
not having to do this. I lived there '95-96, and it seemed denser(??)
between surrounding towns, than out here (see the photo)

Seems like it would be onerous to try and figure all that out.....
...yeah, it is. 


dunno. maybe i'm too worried about covering every single cent. i've thought
about a flat fee for each customer, as Wim said.
