Califroggy! (and my stupid tower of books)

Ever wonder what a freakin' fortune would buy you from an medical textbook company? Want to know why Robert is going to have to weld some kind of rigged up cart to attach to my bike if indeed I am going to bike to school? I swear, whoever designed this semester's required texts list has some kind of wack investment in chiropractics.





Seriously, I don't even know this many words. Total.


And on another note, we are very pleased to present. . . . drum roll please. . .the very first diesel automobile that either Robert or myself has ever owned. .Califroggy! (cuz it's green and real cute)

For those of you who have not been thoroughly updated on the situation of registering our other dearly beloved car (the one in all the photos on the Flickr)-- little Blue did not pass the smog check inspection and the mechanic informed Rob that it would cost most than the amount his car was worth to fix what's "wrong". Little Blue is a fine automobile that gets over 40 miles to the gallon in optimum driving conditions, and so naturally we are unwilling to let the state buy it from us for $1000 --or really let anyone else buy it from us either. (you can't just let go of a gem like Blue! 311,000 miles and going so strong!!! If any of you are thinking about buying a Honda Civic hatchback we would be willing to give this type of car the highest marks!) So we're driving Blue back across this great country of ours in June because we can't register it here in California. And to remedy our California transportation problem. . . . . Enter Califroggy! Graciously sold to us by Uncle Bill! Who has kept it in perfect working condition and has it running on 100% biodiesel! Delivered it with a tank full of it! Yay, Frog! (picture will be posted in A.M. as it is very dark right now and you wouldn't be able to his beautiful green green self)

For those of you haven't gotten an eyeful and wish you had or missed the link I posted before. . . check us out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/elizabethelzey where you can see us doing dumb stuff like going to the Grand Canyon in the snow and driving through two or three epic deserts. . . oh, and Arkansas which really and truly isn't interesting at all. Can't talk too much trash about Arkansas. BoooOoRRRing!

The pictures from our trip are all in a file on the right hand side of the screen called Christmas and California.

Cheers! We love ya.

Liz (and Rob)
