Of course there are earth worms, those are everywhere, I can't turn a shovel full of soil without a bunch of them in the soil...I guess there are some which are native to where I am but I couldn't tell you which one that is..Do you have earthworms in that patch? Then it's not as M.N. intended. Earthworms are an invasive species accidentally brought to North America by Europeans. They destroy conifer forests albeit very slowly--like a few inches per year.
I have an '18 with about 20,000 miles. The vast majority are highway miles. I use it mostly to visit my hometown and my kids.

If profits are foregone, resources get used to compensate for the lack of profit. Literally, "there is no free lunch" and that applies to physics as well as economics. I wonder if it would even matter if we did away with money? Resources are resources and when they are used, they are gone. No free lunch.
For a while I was driving sometimes twice a week to medical appointments which were 100 miles one way-that racked up the miles pretty quickly...now that those appointments are done, my truck barely moves. I try to get out on the bike as much as I can even if it is a short ride.
