Cars...

A form of transportation. They get us from point to point. In our culture, we have, at some level, a relationship with our cars. Is your car reliable? If you are in a relationship, it should be one you can count on. Judy's old Mercury developed a rather odd attraction to a large rock that was rolling across I-215 a few weeks ago. It was a very, very short relationship. The Merc. was broken hearted. Well, the transmission case was cracked. The Merc. was left feeling awful. It also caused a major rift in our relationship with the car, as leaky transmissions are very messy and tend not to be reliable. So we have started a new association with the 2000 Mazda 626 pictured. We will let you know how this new connection progresses.

Weather
This past January had 3 consecutive weeks of below freezing temperatures. The second coldest on record. As cold as January was, the first two weeks of February was warm. We had days that got to 50°'s. The picture of Judy and her Mazda is from February 17th. We woke up to six inches of snow this morning. For those keeping track, Winter is back.
