Anybody got some carbon off-sets I can buy?
I promised content, didn't I? Soon. And yet, while many of you are writing significant entries of world import, I am not.
School ended on Thursday. As soon as was humanly possible, Grant and I were in the car, speeding our way north to the boat. Actually, we were in a truck, a truck of the monster variety. The damn thing required a handle so I could hoist myself into the passenger seat. Why, you might ask, was I hoisting myself into a monster truck (seriously, the beast is almost too big for our driveway) instead of our pretty red Altima? Because some lovely person decided to key said Altima, and it is in the paint shop getting repaired. Luckily, our insurance gives us a replacement rental and Grant went to go get it on Thursday morning.
Grant: I would prefer a slightly larger car than the Toyota you gave me last time, if possible.
Rental Guy: Well, your insurance only covers a mid-size vehicle, but let me see what I can do.
Types into his computer.
Rental Guy: Hmmmm, it appears we don't have any mid-sized cars at all. Let me show you what I can give you.
Grant: I'll take that.
So we drove what is quite possibly the biggest gas guzzler available up to the gas guzzler we keep on the water. It was not a proud day for the environment.

I giggled so hard.
BTW, a friend of mine is moving to Woodstock New York. Looking at the map, to drive there in almost a "straight shot" would take me right by you. Two friends. One trip. The Powers That Be Love Me. And a bonus. I'm not tied to the house and children anymore. I can travel at will. When should I plan on being there?
Ouch! That's a massive hunk of vehicle.
That is, um, large...
