Liese, we have an Odyssey and we like it. It's getting a bit long in the tooth by now (it's a 2002 and has like 140,000 miles on it) but it hasn't needed any major repairs, takes us on all our big trips and fits everything we've tried to stuff into it. And um, you seem to know my car better than I do, so I can't really add anything else.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Awesome, thanks. That's all really helpful, everybody. Burrell, is it easy to fold down the rear seats? Do you know your gas mileage?

Folding down the rear seats, and popping them back up, is easy peasy. It really does just take a couple minutes, depending on how messy your trunk area is, of course. Gas mileage is not great, but unlike you most of our driving is city driving. My typical day is: take kids to school, drive to work, drive home from work and pick up kids on the way home.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
JFK is mobbed, as you would expect.

The flight is on time, and they're just starting boarding. Had enough time to get breakfast after I got past security.

Good luck on getting out, Tom!
I'm waiting on my neighbors to go to the market. Why I needed to wake at 6 is beyond me. Has been for months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Excellent timing, Tom!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Stay safe, East Coasters!
