A Weekend of the New

Wow. I feel like a monsoon deluge, soaking this cyber-pastoral space. But news is news!

I'm sure Brooks has updated everybody on the vital piece of information *wink, wink* i.e. the girl news.

I got a new car. Yesterday, Katie and I drove out of town a bit to look at a Black 98 Civic with 88,000 miles. The asking price was $4890. So, it turns out the guy, Ron - a man in his late 50s (Silver hair club, as he said) - has five others cars, including a '36 Ford and '55 Ford. Beautiful stuff. We took the car for a joyride on I-10 and some dirt roads. On the drive, we decided I would get the car if nothing bad turned up after talking to Ron. Nothing turned up - except that the alignment needs a bit of work. But I didn't bring my money, so we had to go back and get it. Ron, however, wanted a deposit! I only had $4, but Katie had a $20 spot, so we left that. Got the money, drove back, and drove off with the Civic. Pictures coming soon, hopefully.


It's been a happy weekend :-)

Love to all.

Sigh. My mum wanted the best of both worlds: car and pretty girl. I was loath to settle for the car ... I don't have any pictures of her yet, but it's on our list of to-do things, I promise!
