depressing marital and family problems, I feel like a million bucks since I got my new car. I didn't think that I would drive again, but have found out that it's been much eisier than I thought. I bought a Toyota 4-Runner, deep metalic blue in color, and it rides like a chariot from the Gods. I am so happy to be able to just get dressed and out of the house. And I can walk fine with my cane. I get more tired as I get out, but just go home for a nap and i'm ready to go again. The newfound independance has me almost giddy. I can go to the supermarket and pick up my favorite foods (lobsters, smoked salmon,French bread, and then stop by the liquor store and pick up any of a hundred different kind of beers, aaahhh Gaaaaad, I'm in heaven again as when I rarely got out , I was confined to accepting drinking just Miller lite, a fate worse than death.
I have been taking some of my kids for a ride, the younger one who doesn't drive , i take him out to eat and buy him lots of stuff. I don't feel like a useless shut-in anymore. It's gonna be a great winter. I think i'll buy me a plough to put in front of it. After a lifetime of scraping and saving I'm finally getting my "boy's toys" that every man dreams about. I do feel a bit guilty of the low gas mileage, putting extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, maybe I'll turn my research efforts towards cutting greenhouse gases G'day to all, may your God lift up your heart. cs
