  1. Well, it would be great if Lebron went to the Knicks. It would put some life back into that team and I would start watching them again. The Yankees are supposedly thinking about trading for Craig Lee…..

    Pete, what happened to that sweet disposition you had yesterday am, talking about lovely breezes, etc.?

  2. M4L;

    I finally bought a new car this week (though it was used). I bought a 1999 Honda CR-V. It has only 72,000 miles on it, and is in really excellent condition. I got a pretty good deal on it. A close friend of my friend owns a Honda dealership right near where I work. He reconditioned it completely too: new tires, battery, belts and hoses.

    I love the CR-V. I had never considered a compact SUV until this same friend urged me to consider it, and he was right on the money. It is the same length as a compact, and has the same platform as a Honda Civic, so it gets good mileage. Unlike a compact, however, it is roomy and you are higher up. This latter point is important for me, given my wife’s bad hip. It is easy for her to get in and out of the CR-V. Finally, since I park on the street, it will be easier to maneuver during the snowy days.
