Cars

My car is a 2000 Saturn SL1 and has 100,000 miles on it. It gets ~30 miles to the gallon and I maintain it pretty well. In the last year, including the $600 I am putting into it today, I have paid about $1300 to maintain it. That was mostly things I could have lived with out like recharging the air conditioning, fixing a seat and fixing a window.

Still, sometimes I want a new car so badly because it would look nice and have a sunroof and wouldn't need things like oil valve gaskets and serpentine belts replaced. Then I look at the car payment and get sticker shock.

My great-aunt Evelyn just died. I knew she was sick but she has been sick for the last 30 years (she had lung cancer around the time I was born) and to tell you the truth I always thought she was too stubborn to die.

I just mailed her a letter yesterday.

I don't know where the funeral will be, hopefully it will be here because I don't know if I could make it to Colorado right now because I am going out of town in a couple weeks. However, she would have told me to go on a trip over going to a funeral, even hers.


This is something she wrote me in a letter last summer that I love:
