The oil companies are gonna love me.

Well, last Friday I said goodbye to Bugsy. She is up for adoption in Princeton. I loved that car and hated to give her up but the two doors mixed with three children were driving me nuts. Maybe someday I can have another bug.

In Bugsy's place is my new (to me) Jeep Liberty. She is a year older (actually, two years older) than Bugsy and has 25,000 more miles on her but she's great. She doesn't have a name yet. Nice bells and whistles - leather interior, overhead console, power seats - all add to the fun. Watching the fuel consumption is interesting but painful. I am committed to not letting her go under three quarters of a tank. I would rather fill up three times for $20 than to fill up once for $60!
