oh poor poor neglected live journal
well, lets see. we are going on a month a being car-free (or care-free as one of our friends calls it). we are having adventures in public transportation. we have both read a lot more since our car went belly up (luckily, it didn't literally got belly up). my bicycle has gotten some well needed love and tune-ups and part replacement. hermes has gotten pretty good at riding with me in a pannier bag. trust me, it is super cute!

but we are the proud new almost owners of a shiny red toyota prius! we need to come up with a name, i suppose. it is going to come off a big boat from japan in 4-6 weeks. ya! (i hope the big boat isn't too polluting- that would sure be ironic. the prius is expensive, and it has been five years since we had car payments, but cleaner air is worth it. i wish more people we willing to get a super cool car and help the environment.

speaking of air quality, the pollen in atlanta is awful awful this time of year. i am living in that allergy haze again, but it is a lot better since i actually started taking antihistamines every day !

more later- gotta go think about matrices!
