A Wintery Day

I'd almost gotten used to driving the oversized go-kart automatic rental car. And I'd almost forgotten what it was like to be able to listen to anything but the light 'n easy station. But then, from on high, a call to action! You can pick your car up! It wasn't easy, but it's done. A rather large charge bill later, and the podmobile is back and in action!!! (Well, at the moment it's parked at the train station, but still, you know what I mean) My baby is back! Woo! It's gone 73,000 miles with me, and will be going several more now too.

( Note for Cara and other owners of '99 Saturn SL1s )

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those poor unfortunate people who were duped willing to help me get to and from the mechanic & rental car place.

( FIRE!!!! )

( And now for something really dumb that I did )

And in other news (though this might classify as a stupid thing I've done too), it took me *forever* to get to work today. The icy crystalline snow of last night has been replaced by big fat flakes, but it was still all puffy on my car and the roads were... well, how they are in NJ when it snows. Then there was a switch problem (of course, how very unusual). Hopefully going home will be more simple.

(no subject)

How wrong is it that the first thing I thought when in my newly fixed car was, "Cool! I can do donuts in the snow!!!"
