Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, I have little to no interest in ever living anywhere where you HAVE to own a car. This occasionally worries me, with regard to future life partners.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In completely other news, people who have extra cash should check out the Seeds of Peace on-line auction. [link] They work with kids from conflict areas, especially Israelis and Palestinians, do really good work, AND there's a ton of cool stuff up for auction. FYI.

I LIKE having a car. I can still pretend I can get in it and head west and keep going and just run away (yes, I'm having work issues. Fucked up. Self medicating now.)
But I wish my real estate prices weren't so not-having-car like.
Maybe I should just go to my canyon and be a hermit like Blacky at Ghost Ranch. Except, I can't draw good horses or paint murals t /obscure reference probably only I get

oooh, local talkshow does a lot of shows on Seed of Peace (ok, I've heard 2.) It is incredible. And sadmaking and happymaking.

I can do that in a bus. Or whatever.
OH! And car stuff does impact living costs -- when a friend of mine moved from NYC to MI, we realized that her base living expenses would pretty much stay the same, since she was going to buy a new car.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Having a car sucks. Insurance people are making a killing off of it. Also, Bush, off the petroleum thing.

Yeah, even with the car paid off, my insurance is roughly $1300-$1500 a year. Which is actually a big issue here right now, because if I lived 100 yds away, in the county? It'd be closer to 50% less. Or more.
Then there is the gas...I drive very little and that runs me $15-$20 every 2 weeks. And then repairsn & oil. Which, for me, probably average $150-$200 a year since I bought this 3 year old car 5 years ago.
edit: figure out. That's probably $2k/ year on a car that's paid off. Repairs are mostly maintenance stuff, not catastrophic.

Krav is all that, Gus. Never forget.
Suddenly I want to name a daughter Cynthia Rose. I don't even like the name Cynthia. But Cynthia Rose seems very pretty.
I have a medical-ish question. Sometimes the side of my neck hurts, pretty much the trapezius, and the ear on that side is kinda blocked, maybe even the nostril. And a headache comes soon after.
I'm good with the muscle tension->headache thing. Whyfor my ear and nose get involved? That makes no sense.
