Ugh, that sucks, msbelle. Sorry.

I'm been thinking about getting a Ford Maverick since I think a little truck would be very handy and I like the combination of tidy size and good gas mileage, but they are sold out for this year. Another option I'm really interested in is a Kia Niro, especially the plug-in hybrid so I could run on electric for all my short trips. If it was a normal year it would be a perfect time to get a Niro with a big refresh for the next model year, giving me a chance a great discount on this year's model this winter, but I don't think that will happen with the way things are. I really wish I could be doing that now since I would give my car to one of my daughters and that would pop free a cheap car I could offer at really cheap price they both have Honda Fits that are old, but in really good shape mechanically.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sorry, Dana! Sorry, msbelle! That is too bad, Gud, fingers crossed that you can find something that will make that work out for you.
I am pretty sure there were a bunch of other things I meant to say responding to earlier posts but my head can't hold anything for long, apparently. I'm thinking things without posting a lot, though, just so you know!

Damn, that is a lot of suck. Dana, hope it goes fast and mild. msbelle, I don't even know. I'm sorry.
Gud, what does NOT suck is seeing you post recently. May it continue!! Bummer about car woes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Dana. Are you now stuck in a hotel room in VA for the duration?
UGH, msbelle.

I don't have any actual car woes. I just wish the timing could work out better so I was popping a cheap, but good car free right now.

Down here, less than 100 miles away from Uvalde, the nightly news have been doing extended broadcasts on the shooting. I've been having to mute frequently, when it starts verging into real-world misery porn.
In slightly better news, Beto O'Rourke WENT THE FUCK OFF at Greg Abbot during a press conference.
And the Archbishop of San Antonio went down to Uvalde to offer what comfort he could in person. So there's at least one guy who's read his job description.

Ugh, that really has to be rough. (I say, with a flair for massive understatement.)

I will take whatever points of light I can in this awful situation.

I'm currently quarantining in a bedroom and kind of at a loss for what to do next.
