Imprisoned in a small steel box with four wheels

I spend a lot of time in the car. I don't suppose that's really changed recently, but I've been noticing it more. (Maybe it has something to do with the temperature getting up to 102 degrees. My car has a hard time with multi-tasking so hills plus AC is not always an option.) I probably spend 15+ hours per week in the car. That's a lot of time. Lately, it's also a lot of money. Anyhow, since the mysterious disappearance of one of "my" radio stations, I've been bored. Due to recent life events, too much time for thinking is not really good either. So...I went to the library to pick up a new-to-me cassette audio book and chose Little Altars Everywhere (Rebecca Wells) which is the book prior to The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (which I've already read). So far, I really like it. It's about finding "space" in the midst of trials and using that space to grow and find something new. It's also very funny...and southern. It makes me miss Mamoo (Dani's mom)...and biscuits. Maybe I need to visit Alabama. :) Or at least call Mamoo....
