I called up the buyer of my car, and arranged to close the deal tomorrow. I want the cash, as much as he wants the car. I figure between biking and bumming rides, I will be able to get around without much difficulty. I made the entire bike ride to work yesterday, and it took me 55 minutes there, and 45 back. On the way back I overcame my fear of cars, and used the road rather than the sidewalks, which saved allot of time.

You do tend to get attached to things, and I would be lying if I said I wouldn't miss the car. It was so much fun to drive, and taking care of it was an obsession for me. But in the final analysis, it is just after all a thing, and it has not provided me with meaningful fulfillment. Who am I kidding, anyways? I have never been a car person. Heck, even though I am trained as a mechanical engineer, I don't even know how to change the oil! Plus, I feel like a bit of a hypocrite driving it, since I've become more aware of environmental issues now that we have oilmen in the White House, and the car doesn’t get great gas mileage. My next car will probably be a Civic, or a hybrid car, if I can afford one.

I looked at my site in Netscape 4.whatever-I-had, and it was all messed up. I upgraded to version 6.whatever, and now it’s even more messed up. I guess it will still be awhile until I move this to my main site.
