Turn off, Tune In, Drop out of the Petrol Cycle

As you may well know CK crashed up the Elantra. I have been trying to decide what car, if any, to get her. I shied away from going car free at first do to a feeling that it might not work out. What if it turns out we spend more on car rentals and taxi service than we did on cars? What if CK doesn't like it, what if I find out I need a car too often? How will I get my bubble tea from the other side of the west hills? So I spent a couple days shopping for cars, which I hate more than anything. I hate car salesmen, dealerships, dealing with the goverment to register a new car, dealing with insurance agents to insure them. It's all a giant expensive hassle.
Then I had a mini-epiphany. We are already car free. I don't own a personal automobile right now. If I find out I need a car then I'll go through the hassle of getting one. Until then I'll see if I can handle life without one. What I'm saying is I don't need to be in a rush to get a car.
I spent the weekend in a mild depression. I missed my wifey and couldn't get off my ass to do anything productive Friday and most of Saturday. All I really did today was brew up a batch of IPA, for which I only have moderate hopes for its sucess. I also decide to grow hops in the backyard this spring, hopefully CK will be able to tolerate their smell.
