I had a wonderful post drafted last night, and my laptop suddenly turned itself off before I could save it. I'll try to recreate it today. It would have been "God Thoughts -- Part III."
Meantime, I'm test-driving a PT Cruiser tomorrow. IT's the right color, and has the features/options I want. The Credit Union has already pre-approved my loan, so now it all hinges on how the test drive feels, and what they'll give me for my trade-in.
It's possible that I could be in a new car by Valentines' Day.
