heading to PA

Roy is with one neighbor, Kyo with another. Hopefully they'll water my plants as promised.

Looks like a good day to drive.

Poor Yukio, if things go as planned this is the last big trip we'll take together. He's a good car, he's just getting all sort of high mileage issues. Even though a lot of people can get 200,000+ out of Honda/Toyotas, I've learned I can get 180 and they start nickle and diming me to death at around 150. He's 10 years old and I can't believe that. It feels like I just bought him. I bought him hoping he'd ferry me to all my patient locations (I didn't have an office) even though I had been hurt two months earlier. I was hoping I'd heal. Instead he's ferried me from Wisconsin to Florida back to Wisconsin and now to Ohio. I don't think he qualifies as a clunker in spite his age because he's a high m.p.g. car and can be resold for thousands in spite his mileage (I looked up his value, around 3,500)

LJ is driving me nuts since I can't respond to emails and it's very slow to come up but I guess I can't blame it. It's been under attack ala Twitter and Facebook. I'd love ten minutes in a locked room with a bat with these hackers.

well I'd better get to packing

so I was wrong

It was a horribly stormy day to drive home in but I made it fine. I nearly hit a goat like less than 7 miles from home though. And I did nearly get creamed by a tour bus. It was in a work area in Wheeling. Luckily I was going east. the westbound lane (I'm assuming there was an accident) was solid stopped traffic from 4 miles west of Cabela's to the PA border (for those in th wheeling area...)

looked at the Honda and Toyota on line. The Civic is bigger but it's all digital with a stereo/heating/ac etc system as one unit. I don't like that at all.


Happy things day 3 - I made it back without trouble


unhappy things - this heat. Three people just in my plan had asthma attacks (me included) thanks to how terribly hot and humid it is. Also I had to pack the car in the pouring rain. that was fun

other than that there's nothing much to say so have some dragons
