The time has come to retire the old Civic. It’s still a good car, but it seemingly always needs minor amounts of work that I never want to do. I’ve been shopping around for quite a while and am really just waiting for the perfect vehicle to pop up locally. I’m fairly set, but wouldn’t mind hearing opinions.

The mileage in the Nikes has been very good, but still not really barefoot. Today, I went barefoot. Armed [footed?] with my Vibram Five Fingers Flows, I set off toward the woods on this…
