The Continued Adventures of Fox and Wa

The obsolescence of my broken car part seems to end in Colorado, where it has been found and requested.  For $50, no less.  I’m a little irate that the absence of a $50 part has the possibility of making my car essentially worthless (and certainly less useful), but right now much more happy that it may soon be fixed.  Now I just get to wait and see if it’s actually the RIGHT part (no reason it wouldn’t be except that I’m paranoid at this point), and start the struggle now over whether I’ll continue to ride my bike to work when there is an easier and more convenient alternative.  The noble side of me wants to ride and get fit, but the practical side of me is a sore loser with a mean left hook, so we’ll see who comes out on top.

At the least, I’ve really started to take a closer look at my dependence on my car, and I’d like to lessen it a great deal.  Gas prices aside (and honestly they don’t bother me that much), driving a car is an expensive habit!
