goodbye invisible flying car

I am eating hot rice pudding. It came from a can, looking like something from a Dickens story, or like that thing in Flight of the Navagator--"he's got a cold."

And for the first time in my life I own a car. Such a commitment, it's like having a child, except it won't be able to support me in my old age. But it is beautiful, a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. I described the color to Cricket and she came up with the term "dark dove" which really sounds like a cowboy movie. It's kind of a slightly purple gray. No bench seat in the front, which was my main goal in getting a car, but the seats are comfortable. And now I have real ultimate freedom (oh, and I can lock the windows from the driver's side door, yeah), so Hope, you can keep the invisible flying car.

Congratulations!!

Something freeing about having a car. For one, you never have to worry about having a place to sleep. ;-) (Though the showers aren't that great...)

oh yes, I had thought about that sleeping thing, another reason I am happy about the big back seat.

so glad I don't have to share the invisible flying car anymore.
Where did you park it?
