Last week my coop had a member party where they showed the movie "The Real Dirt on Farmer John" I loved it!!! It is an awesome story about a farmer named John who wasn't sure he really wanted to farm even though it was expected of him by his family. He became a hippy in the 60s and had a bit of a commune on his family farm. He evolved and changed and now has a successful CSA. Very thought provoking and inspiring.
My car had been having problems and since I will be moving across the country in the next two months I wanted to get something more reliable. I traded in my '95 Mazda 626 and got an '05 Honda Civic. It is cute and drives really nicely. I chose this car for practical reasons like reliability and efficiency (in gas usage). I hate white cars and I like manual transmissions much better than automatic, so it is neither white nor automatic. It is actually gray with black interior although I don't really care about that. I am glad that I will be taking it to a cooler state since black interior isn't pleasant in Texas. This was my first car to buy on loan and even though I was resistant to taking on this debt, it is totally manageable. I think it will serve me well for quite some time.
