Goodbye trusted, loyal servant

As my daughter dropped me off at the airport, I saw her new car vanish away around the curb. After taking me reliably around the West for the past nine years, this little auto has now found a new home and it ready, I sure hope, for another decade of driving her new owner around California and wherever destiny may take her in the future .

It's been bittersweet to see that auto go ; bitter because it has served me so well over such a long time and sweet because I know it will now be in very good hands for another great many years!
