[…] 2003 I ran 4 miles in 35:28, and in 2005 fell off to 37:42. Though I did run the Buller Gorge while in NZ, overall I’m in much worse shape than 2003, so merely besting 2005 will be a […]

I concur with Erin – you two have to make sure you keep those new friends of yours here in l’il ole NZ up with what you are doing in Peoria – like, what’s the favourite drink – coffee, tea, wine?, and where do you go for meals when Angela dones/t cook her gorgeous creations etc etc etc…don’t just come and then fade from view guys. We loved meeting and getting to know you, so want to keep that up. Okay!!! Ngaira
PS David SOLD the house after you left – new people move in next week!! What did you do to the house he had to SELL it???

When I was in California I had a Chevy Aveo rental. There was like 1 button on the dash- nothing extra. It was pretty bare bones to the point that the only way you could lock the door was to put the key in the lock every time you left the car. It sounds trivial, but you couldn’t just press the lock down and shut the door. You couldn’t even do it by holding the handle up as you closed. I’ve had cars without automatic locks before but this was ridiculous. It sure does make you appreciate the ‘luxury’ of automatic doors and windows.

Yeah the Rav4 was really a good car. Here’s ours:

We did have a Bluebird too. It was not that enjoyable, but I didn’t have problems with it either:
