We posted both cars last night on carsoup and craig's list. In looking at the book value of my car, it probably makes sense to sell it now anyway- it has a $10,000 trade-in value (and it is paid off). My mind wandered to thoughts that I could really upgrade if I traded it in right now- without an increase in car payments. Of course, that would merely be a status symbol. We could really upgrade if we consolidated our payments and only owned one car. But of course, we are selling both. I have had a car since 1988. While on one hand, the idea of being without a car is liberating, it works against years of car ownership ingrained into my life. It seems that everyone in the Twin Cities owns a car. Then again, selling it is literally money in the bank.
I rode to work this morning, knowing full well that it will storm on my way home. I am paying penance for unknown transgressions today. It was a beautiful sunrise this morning, and more bikes than usual out and about. We might as well enjoy this unseasonably warm weather- even if it is a bit wet. Yesterday, Lise and I went on an hour and a half ride, and using my Flight Deck lap counter, I encountered 185 other cyclists. These days are numbered.

Hope you stayed dry - somehow I missed the storm by like 5 min on my way home...
If you are talking about last night, you missed the REAL storm.
I'm pretty sure it was the real storm that I missed - I work second shift, so I was riding home a little after 10pm, which was when it rolled through Uptown. I wasn't sure how much it had rained earlier, since it was just sprinkling on the way in, then everything was wet when I went out to smoke later in the day...
