A lousy travel evening in the works..
My rent car was about buried in the snow in Endicott this afternoon, and a usual 1 hour drive took 2.5, nice and slow. Now flights are being delayed out of Syracuse. We'll see if I make it home this evening. Work week was productive otherwise.
I had a snack at a Panera cafe with free internet - I got this bill back in change from my dinner.
[Where's George?]
Its stamped on either side with 'Track this bill at http://www.wheresgeorge.com' and I did. Rather fascinating, I think. If you check out the top 10, sure seems like the bills get to strip clubs pretty easy.
We got Charles moved up to Dallas last weekend, and he's had a good week there. I've got another week to be here in Endicott, then I get a few days to work out of Austin during Franz's visit.
Is that a Legacy wagon? Those things kick 10 different kinds of ass in slippery conditions.
Outback 4wd. With heated seats & snow tires. I was feeling my inner-lesbian as I crunched through the snow in Endicott.
You're right - it handled great in the snow, and the transmission had 2 modes - normal, 'sport' where it won't upshift until higher speeds, and then tiptronic manual. The tiptronic came in handy for the slick streets. I'd get that one again.
I've had both good and bad luck with vehicles at Hertz lately - had a Ford Freestyle (cool, good handling), an '05 Mustang (if only I were somewhere warm where heads would turn), then got shafted with a Hyundai Tucson, then this Subaru. Last night for the drive from Houston to Austin, got a Jeep Liberty 4x4.
