keeping the car

twenty-seven years and one million words

Looking at the situation, we've decided that we'd be walking away from too much value in light of the likely difficulty in selling the car for anything like its "normal market value" [sic]. Today (my time) I've priced adding mum to our insurance and "moving" to her place. We wind up with a $230 savings per year, meaning we're paying just under $110/month to keep the car. Given that we could be back in 2-3 years, we think this is likely the best way of preserving our investment and preventing the need to buy another should we return in that timeframe.

Plus it gives mum some wheels!

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
