An update

Wow. I've really been neglecting this thing. But then, I've been spending my winter in Rochester, NY, and there are only so many ways to blog "It's snowing again today" before it gets rather monotonous.

If all goes well, this will be my last week in Rochester, and then I'll be returning to San Mateo for the next few months. I expect there will be much more interesting things happening there, and I'll get more quality reading time on the weekly transcontinental flights.

In other news, as of today I am the happy owner of a new "desert mist" (aka beige) Honda Accord Hybrid. 255 horsepower, and it's still reasonably fuel efficient. I definitely like it so far.

Congrats on the hybrid purchase! Out of curiosity, did you have to wait a long time to get it?

Much to my surprise, I only had to wait 2 weeks. And if I'd wanted one in white, they had a couple sitting in stock.

I got mine at Leith Honda at Capital Blvd & 540 in Raleigh. I also called Crown Honda at Southpoint but they'd already sold all of the ones they were getting up through the end of April, from which I conclude that hybrids must be more popular with the Chapel Hill/Carrboro crowd than with north Raleigh folks.
