RE: OT: bad week- need to play in dirt

I am so proud of you!!!  You'll love the Prius.  The more of us who purchase
"green" vehicles, the more the manufacturers will be forced to see us as a
force to market vehicles that are low/no polluters and encourage lower fuel
consumption at the same time!  Ask Eva about hers.  After having once for
several years, I'm still in love with mine!  

Blessings,

Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Thanks for the kind thoughts.  I am doing much better after spending the 
end of last week outside in the garden and reorganizing my garage, and 
even buying a little garden/tool shed
to put all the miscellaneous tools and fertilizer, etc into. (the guy at 
OSH even delievered to my house when it wouldn't fit into my husbands 
Honda Element!-  I must have looked in desperate need!).
So, if the stupid Sac City police would ever call me back, I might 
actually be able to get my car fixed. In the meantime, I'm on the list 
for a new Prius.
