In praise of fleece

If it's getting cold in your area, get some quality fuzzy cozy fleece pants!

I did and I wear them all the time (now my area is warm).

Heck, while you're at it get some quality fleece socks and a hoodie too!

Small investment, huge comfort!

Do they make fleece undies?

The next car

Well I've just hit 144k miles on my car and I'm averaging...26.2 mpg. Hehe. While I plan to keep it until it wears out, that has never stopped me from dreaming about the next car.
In no order:

2014 Mazda Miata - supposed to be lighter, better mpgs, turbo 4 cyl

NC generation Power Retractable Hardtop. No more fabric tops for me!

Scion FR-S - a "Miata coupe". Premium fuel, boxer four, four seats.

Mazda2 - cheap practical fun

Mazda CX-5 - mini SUV supposed to be fun to drive, manual transmission.

Any diesel, manual transmission car Mazda ends up bringing over here.

First gen Scion xB. The "I need a cheaper than Mazda2, fun used car."

Free books...without the boogers!

Books are awesome! A plethora of them occupy my home (hey is that occupy movement still going on?). The bad part is buying books can be expensive and they take up a lot of space. You also only end up reading a few of them again.

I love the library but let's face it, often the book covers are sticky, and the pages often have mysterious stains and ...boogers! While I have nothing against mining for nose gold I do endorse their proper disposal (cat's back).

Aside from making sure you get the new releases as soon as possible, there is another solution! Free library e-books! It's just recently become available in my red neck of the woods. I can use my library card to check out books and download it to my digital device.

So now I can check out books without running to the library. And I can read on my iPad with confidence that the only boogers I encounter are my own.
