Car shopping with my mom today - Otis H. Basketry is paying for the car, but she wanted to see how good a deal she could get just the same. So after about 49 hours of looking, thinking and, finally, being unable to think any longer because we'd spent too much time looking and thinking, we finally picked out a car. "I'm still not sure about the drink holder," she'd say, and then wrangle a deal to get $4 off a muffler replacement in the next 80 days or something. It's actually pretty sweet, so I shouldn't complain - a new Honda Insight should set me up nicely for the return trip. Which has to start tomorrow, if I'm going to get back to New Hampshire on time.

Now listening to: "Eileen" by Keith Richards
