Car Buying Sheol

The idea of a new car is a lot more fun than the actual process of purchasing a new car. One of Dante's levels of hell could just as well have been "car buying". I'm helping a friend through the process, and it doesn't tend to bring out the best in people. While in seminary, I had this horrible little car that was always falling apart. I went to some dealerships in Colorado to buy a car that could actually get me to class without breaking down. I was the one that ended up breaking down - into tears at two of the dealerships. The experiences were bad enough that I kept the disaster on wheels for four more years and took the bus to class.

Maybe the redemptive piece was I committed myself to public transportation, and God knows that was a small piece of goodness for the land and environment in Denver! There were days you could seek a thick green haze covering the entire city. Ugh.
A reason for thanksgiving: Kay is out of the hospital and at home recovering. Prayers of healing for her in the coming weeks and thanks that a full recovery is expected!
