The post office



Nicole and I went to the store for Gluten free stuff to finish filling 2 packages I just sent to my parents.  Being at the post office today was like being in a Carol Burnet sketch.  Tim Conway was the incompetent post man.  It literally took an hour to send those two packages.  It's not like there was a line, we were the only customers.  And I kept saying my daughter was coming on the bus, my disabled daughter is coming on the bus I need to hurry.  Finally I sent Nicole home with the car, I finished with the incompetent postman.  Sadly I think he may have dementia.  Perhaps he needs to retire.  I was ok, as long as Jessica had someone at home to greet her.  I do hope these packages actually make it to America.  They seem to be losing packages.  I don't even have tracking numbers, he was unable to manage that. I just hope for the best!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
