Today's awesome walk, 7.83 miles in 2:18, a photo by christopher575 on Flickr.

One of the ways I deal with major frustration in life is by taking long
walks, which is funny since the thing that's frustrating me right now is
that I need a car. So I grabbed a bus up to Everett Station and walked all
the way back. I specifically wanted to start there because they have
bathrooms and my walks lately always happen after coffee. Lucky for me I
was also able to stop at Grandma's house for another break about halfway
down.

I got completely wet and was trying to get a good picture of myself when my
mother-in-law drove up. I know six people in this city and one of them
caught me.

Did you originally plan to need a car when you moved up there, or did something change? What kind of car are you looking for?

We've always known we'd need a second car, I just didn't think it'd become as frustrating as it has as quickly as it did. I don't really know what we'll get, it just needs to be reliable and not too terribly expensive. We'll see what's out there when we're ready, after closing on the condo.

We're in a similar boat. We don't need a second car all the time because Logan takes the bus (and prefers it), and we don't have very many activities outside of the house that we need two cars at the same time. But every once in a while, it would be incredibly helpful. Car to go won't get him where he needs to go (which is usually very north, near you guys), and Zipcar isn't one way.

Now we're looking to sell our one car to upgrade, but ugh. Still doesn't solve the problem, and we can't upgrade and get a second car. FWP.
