We braved the winter wonderland (post storm) and drove to IKEA yesterday. In spite of getting home and discovering that one of our purchases had previously been returned and missing necessary hardware, it was a good time. It almost makes me happy that I have to make a return trip.
We also watched the odometer change from 99999 to 100000, a momentous occasion for the old Saturn. To celebrate, we got a cookie at the farm.
One of the hazards of driving Route 128 (and trust me, there are several), is after a snowstorm, some folks will clean off their cars but forget the roof.I find this particularly true on large vehicles. Unfortunately, this left over snow winds up blowing all over the road an into the windshields of following cars. There have been some attempts at legislation regarding this in the land of beans and cod, but as far as I know, nothing's passed yet. It's dangerous, so it's important to spend the extra time to do it right. And, of course, to keep me from being one of those cranky old ladies behind the wheel.
