I drove my car to Universe City on Sunday night and parked it nice and close to the curb in front of my house and...
I haven't gotten into it since.
"You are probably going to want to change your oil every six months, even if you don't drive 2000 miles in that time," someone said to me today. And right now it seems possible that I won't. (Other than those pesky trips to Gone West City to regain sanity.)
I had left my bike at work over the weekend, and so I walked to work on Monday morning, and I rode my bike to FIGHT class and home, and then I rode my bike to work today. My life hasn't really changed that much, except that I know I can escape when I need to get out of town. I know that I can go to that concert that will get out late on Thursday night. I know that I can stop at the fabric store that someone recommended to get the thread to fix my sweater. I know that I can go to the hardware store for paint. I know that if it rains, I can get in the car and drive to work without getting soaked.
This particular photo is for A.L.:

The color of the car, which I did not choose, being that it was second-hand, is remarkably similar to the color of my office, which I did choose. My life is full of the blue of underwater in the tropics. I like it.

Don't listen to 'someone.' Listen to me because my opinion is clearly more valid. Change the oil every 6000 or greater. If the engine breaks, it won't be because the oil broke down.
Also, congratulations.
