May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I wish I had one of VWBug's carob cupcakes right now. So what if they were intended for Toto? Best use of carob I've come across yet! (Also, they're cow-free and vegan, so Jen and I both had an unexpected treat.)

A hummingbird just flew by my balcony. More bulletins as they develop....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VW!!!!! You're a rock star, yes you are.

Drooling over the hybrid SUVs. Don't really want an SUV, but we do need a vehicle suitable for hauling sets, and I'm tired of driving the giant Sierra around in the city (not to mention the gas bill).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday to VW!!!

and your little dog too!!

I woke up with what feels like a heat headache. Which doesn't makes sense since this weekend was quite pleasant (compared to what it had been) and my apartment was 70 this morning. Maybe I'll blame it on the cats who stole my pillows last night.

Or monday.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy Birthday VW!

My Saturn SC-1 gets between 30 and 35 mpg. It's also a 3-door coupe with minimal haulage, and has the pickup of an asthmatic snail, so it's probably not what most folks are looking for. Still, it got me to Charlottesville and back on less than a tank of gas, which was nice.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

so, I looked at the pollen index on weather.com. It is very high around here. and everywhere I lived or visted in the last 15 years. So the 97 bajillion meds - I would be takeing anywhere. I can't decide if this is reassureing or annoying.

I can't even.

Happy Birthday vw! I hope you have a great day!

I have an appointment with the optometrist in about 25 minutes, and physio at lunchtime, plus a bunch of work to get done today. Hmm, clearly I need more caffeine.

Is that the automatic? In the SL2 we noticed a big difference between the automatic and manual when it came to pick up. ( not with the VUE - but we have the big engine) ( Matt was tired of pushing his car of the Sunol grade)

We had an SL once with a stick and it wasn't too bad. But I've driven the automatics and they are really sluggish. I don't think the engines have enough torque to pair up with an automatic.

If you want hauling capacity and fuel economy, maybe a TurboDiesel Jetta Wagon. Or less expensively, a Ford Focus Wagon or Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe.
