the world is your acorn

So, our trusty 1999 Chevy Blazer is no longer so very trusty. There seem to be some expensive leakage problems involving anti-freeze and the ability to heat our car. We have decided to just trade it in for something smaller, more fuel efficient, and more Japanese. In short, we are going to get a Prius.

Of course, The Little Red Haired Girl and I have no idea how to go about buying a car, nor do we really want to learn. Why can’t buying a car just be like buying groceries or computers? Why do you have to go in there and fear getting cheated and lied to? I am not looking forward to the experience, and any useful tips would be greatly appreciated.

There are a couple of lamb shanks that marinated for two nights in the oven right now. They’ve been there for over an hour, and they are starting to smell delicious. How am I supposed to wait until dinner time to eat them?
