I Think I'm In Love


Hello car friends!(The first I have ever had.) Since we last met I have been unable to stop thinking about my own foot print on this planet. This topic (Cars and Culture) has raised so many other thoughts about my tread in general, maybe that is part of the point, part of the process. I should be honest and admit that I was actually extremely disappointed when I got this seminar because I had been so excited about the art and home class. Now I can honestly say that I am humbled and grateful that the process has led me to my current intro- as well as extro-spection (is that even a word? Hopefully you know what I mean.)
Anyway, as I was explaining, I have been thinking a lot about my personal commitment to keeping my car clean which so far has been easy. I even named it, I thought maybe it would help and it has. I chose Lulu, but that was a reference from advisee group which only Sarah will understand. I have also been working on another secret commitment I was too embarrassed to share at the last weekend. I have not spoken on my cell while driving, well almost haven't... and
I had also been seriously contemplating how to reduce my car use in general and then it happened. I got a postcard in the mail advertising the Nissan Cube. Five days after my initial frenzy and obsession I can say that perhaps this is not what I am going to do right away but I am definately continuing to give it serious consideration. I also think if you all haven't seen it yet, you should check it out. It seems to good to be true, maybe it is; 40 miles per gallon starting at $13,900. Keene's dealership is getting five in May, I look forward to checking them out. I can only hope that you are not all obsessing as much as I am about your daily habits, routine and life. Can't wait for our next weekend. See you soon, hope all is well, Bianca

  1. It is a very lovable-looking little vehicle, Bianca! I've been trying to figure out what the current vogue for cute, boxy little cars is all about - some kind of reaction against big, smooth, streamlined, Detroit-looking vehicles, maybe?

    Glad the extrospection (a great word) has been working. I'll be interested to hear where you go with this by April!
