Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I've failed you, Windsparrow. I have no reasons not to, compelling or otherwise. Do you have a place picked out to hang it?

ETA: One should always be receptive to revelations. H picked up one of those glider chairs made for the nursery. There was no matching footstool, but he has always wanted one of the chairs, he thinks they're *so* comfy. I hated the thing. It faux "Early American" oak finished wood, with the faux Boston rocker top rail, and spotty flecked midrange boring blue cushions. Haaated. During the furniture waltz, he parked it beneath the planets painting, and suddenly, against the starfield, the chair's upholstery looked right at home. I still don't find it attractive, but I don't actively hate it, now. (And it is actually pretty comfy)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Do you have a place picked out to hang it?

Thinking about just carrying it around with me everywhere I go. It's not large or ungainly, at 9" x 12".

You need someone to screen it on a pretty light jacket for you, or a white silk umbrella. It's very cheerful, I see why you like it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It is quite a charming picture, I would not be able to muster an argument against it.

That is fascinating, Bev. Aesthetic combinations are often so surprising, when they work and when they don't.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I caught up on lots of tv: Elementary, Grey's, Criminal Minds, and almost caught up on AoS.

Still have a lot I am behind on.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Just emailed a car dealer & told them what I wanted and what I was willing to pay. Attached a printout from Consumer Reports. Yikes.

Why can't I buy a car the way I buy a book?

Our wings are not tired

Now if I can just find one from 2010+, with all wheel drive and manual transmission. Is that so much to ask?

Options to look at are the Jeep Renegade, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Mini Countryman, Subaru Crosstrek, and Subaru Forester. All of those were available with AWD and a manual transmission. They didn't sell that combo in huge numbers, but they were available, so you may be able to find one.

Here are a few Jeep Patriots in your area. They weren't the most popular Jeep model, but it means you can get some good deals on low mileage models.

'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"

Ooooh, Drew! I wasn't thinking Jeep (and I cringe just a little at the 'Patriot' moniker, Because) but pursuing an opposite-to-the-herd strategy (thinking outside the car-box) might be helpful indeed.
