A Change of Direction

Editor B Saturday, 8 August 2009 3

I was surprised to discover this morning that our one-way street had reversed direction overnight. Well, it wasn’t a big surprise really. The city had sent me a letter explaining the plan and polling our opinion, but I never mailed the form back in. After mulling it over a while I thought it might not […]

Non-Starter (part five in a series)

Editor B Thursday, 5 February 2009 13

Vehicular Transport

Editor B Friday, 6 April 2007 11

We bought a car yesterday. It’s a 2005 Saturn Ion 3. It has about 11,000 miles on it and cost us about $10,000. It’s bright white. The dealership gave us only $300 for our old 1998 Saturn SL1, about what we expected for a car with a severe engine problem. I hate the car shopping […]
