The evolution of my transportation
.......
Well, I did a sad thing the other day. I donated my van to a charity. I don't think I could have made a profit by selling it, what with the rusted roof, the poofy ceiling (thanks to Phu) and dying transmission, so I decided that the next best thing is to donate it. The charity I really wanted to donate it to - a local org that helps disadvantaged children in the area - seemed to disappear the minute I decided to donate the van. And true to form, I saw a new billboard for it on my way to work today - right after donating it to someone else. Of course. But I did find a decent Christian charity that will use the proceeds for "spreadin' the Word." So I guess I feel ok. Except that a piece of history is now gone forever. Where I'm from, you just leave the old piece of junk out back so you can look at it now and then and remember... but here it just gets towed and they charge you for it. :(
Ok, before this turns into a (an?) eulogy, I'll shift gears (which my van couldn't do, that's why I had to donate it) to my growing list of modes of transportation.

I've grown increasingly "green" over the past few years, and now my vehicle has got to be the best on mileage (as well as health), though I fear for my safety everyday I go to work.
