Ah. Blog Post Number 300.

Mum's got a new car. It's a fully loaded Honda ("hey! XM! righteous!") and it's pretty. We were sitting in the car dealership yesterday, signing a bazillion forms and it struck us that car cost what Da and Mum paid for their Preteniousville California Ranch house forty-two years ago: $26,ooo.

Da may spend his life acting like a single guy, but he does like to make sure we have good cars.

Fiddly bits from the mind of Uncle Leiderhosen:

• It's early Sunday Morning and the sun isn't even up. The heater turned itself on and the cat has taken up residence inside my robe. It rained yesterday.
• I am still hopeful and excited about Obama's term. Our loss at Prop 8 is just battle in a war we will win.
  
• Wee Wonderfuls
• Kalinumba shawl patterns are unequalled. And in three languages.
• Edda and Amos at 9 Chickweed Lane are getting it on. Brooke McEldowney is pretty fabulous.
