My car actually made it here this morning. I got a call yesterday morning from the driver of one of those big rigs that you see carrying 10 cars on the highways, (I always hate driving near those -- they make me nervous) saying he was in the Denver area and expected to deliver my car around noon. I knew this driver was about 6 hours later than expected when he picked up my car from Trumansburg. But I stupidly waited at home ALL DAY and missed my bike ride. At 8:30 pm, I phoned him. "uh ... tomorrow morning? Anytime after 9 am?"
He did show up this morning, with my car -- woo hoo! And my car fits handily in the garage, even with giant trash can and bike. I just spent the entire morning doing those stupid things you have to do when you move:
* get a Colorado drivers license
* register to vote in Colorado
* register the car in Colorado
Oy. You do the drivers license dance in the Colorado department of revenue. You register your car in the county building. But before you can register it, you have to go to the police station to get your VIN (vehicle id number) verified. I am really glad the car came today, as I'm starting work tomorrow and won't have the flexibility to wait in the dang lines.
But here's the cool thing: my Colorado plates are something like 976 000. And my phone number ends in 00 also. Maybe I'm getting round numbers because I'm sort of round???
I'm just waiting for it to warm up more before I go for today's bike ride. Stopped at whole wallet (whole foods) on the way home - starting to stock the fridge and freezer again. It was nice having my canvas tote bags back for grocery shopping (they live in my car).

My sister in Santa Fe calls it "Whole Paycheck"
Good luck in your first day of work tomorrow. What are you going to wear? ;-)
It was sunny and in the low 60's here yesterday (and raining and in the low 60's today).
I learned today that the last 3 digits are actually letters. So that's 796 OOO as in oooooooooooooo!
