Making Al Gore Happy

A little while ago, THS and I decided to become a one-car couple. Because we both commute, and because we'd both been single for so long, we hadn't thought about how car-rich we were. But THS found out he could take BART to a shuttle, which would take him right to his company's front door. We figured out that our weekend plans would seldom require us to have two cars--and that when it were to happen, we'd be able to rent a ZIP car. So, which car to get rid of? It made sense to offload the one that has the most miles, which is my Subaru Forester. I've had it since 2001, and I've put 138,000 miles on it. Fortunately my average weekly mileage won't be nearly the same going forward as it was over the last five years, so THS' Outback won't suffer nearly the abuse. I don't have to drive for work as much, and I'm making very few trips down to Santa Barbara these days. Anyway, one of THS' coworkers is going to test-drive my car tomorrow. We're hoping he'll grab it, since that'd be the easiest possible scenario. 

In other news, I just made a tasty Italian soup and posted the recipe, along with my comments and a photo, over in Loretta Cooks!
