you don't get new dishwashers and tumble dryers that often either -they may cost less, but they often make much more difference in everyday life.

I think dishwashers are the new purchase We enjoy the most. we have bought three in our 20+ years together.



Buxton is in the garage tonight. Red Rascal is not. Buxton is in Red Rascal's half of the garage. In the old days, when there was temporarily crap in the garage, it was RR who got to stay. The front part of RR's side was the easiest to bulldoze. Here's hoping RR is not related to Christine.
You wouldn't see the cars you see on the road if, for a lot of us, cars were just utilitarian. In fact, I daresay most cars would look the same, except that some people LOVE cars.

I do. I would love to have a little fleet, driving whichever one fit the mood or the environment that day. A Jeep CJ7, my bug, a Lamborghini, some cool classic...like a Bel Air, and some kind of big stomper SUV. That might do it for now.
