The Jeep will be with us for at least another week!
This morning, I decided to squeeze in one last errand before bringing the Jeep to the dealership. That errand was to bring King to Dr. Boozer's office for his annual check-up. During the check-up, I found out that King needs to have his few remaining teeth cleaned. Since I couldn't get another appointment until next Wednesday, I decided that it was worth keeping the car for another week. I mean, the appointment is set up for 8 a.m., and then I'm going to have to go back and pick him up later in the day.
I guess it's all OK in the end because I can't give my three month cancellation notice on our garage parking spot until the end of the month anyway. Isn't that great? We get to pay for an EMPTY parking spot for three months! Oh well, at least our guests will get to park indoors until the end of January, 2008.
Will the Jeep be gone by the time we leave for Japan two weeks from today? Or, won't it?
Stay tuned!

F-Off, Young Greens!!!
After on-going, intense negotiations, Mrs. TBF and I have come to an agreement: the "For Sale" sign will go up in the Jeep window around September 1st.
Why then?
Well, I'll tell you why...
Mrs. TBF wants us (and I can't blame her) to keep the Jeep through the hottest part of summer so that she doesn't have to ride the tram home from work when it is hotter than a sauna and filled with passengers emitting nostril-hair and eyebrow singeing body odor AND old Swiss people who complain when one opens a window because they believe that wind causes illness.
The plan is that I will pick Sugar Mama up at work on the hottest days of July and August - as I have in previous years...because it's in my job description - and then, hopefully not too long after that, the chapter on Jeep ownership will come to a close.
At least that WAS the plan...
Wouldn't you know it? Now, those stinkin' Young Greens of Switzerland are trying to cause trouble for us four-wheel drive owners. Of course, "...the limits would only be applied to new registrations" (gee...that's swell of them!), but "...older vehicles [such as ours] would be allowed to stay on the road as long as their maximum speed was kept to 100 km/h."
Who the heck is going to want to buy our Jeep now???
Or...
Will the threat of strict limits on new four-wheel drive vehicles make our "grandfathered" Jeep...even MORE VALUABLE???
Woooo Hoo! Go, Young Greens!
