Time flies.

Grace & Anita came visit for a few days. Grace will be back to spend Christmas with me in sunny California.

The car’s pretty neat. I’ve been getting really good mileage, like consistently close to 50mpg… Drove to Palo Alto and back with a few trips to Sacramento airport from Davis on one tank of gas. It’s pretty cool… And it still has ( Read more... )
