Since there's been no snow and all the salt seems to have washed away, I've been driving my S pretty much everyday. I just try to take it easy because the temps are so low. Definitely haven't been able to put the top down lately though.

We feel like it's been winter forever too!

We had two days out with the "S" since Mid November.

Still waiting for spring....

Well, the redwing blackbirds are back in the local wetland and visiting the feeders, the flying squirrels have been out every night collecting seed (little ones on the way or here already?), crocus are up in the front yard, on the 11th I was out topless in a t-shirt.
Yeah, I froze waiting to march in the Holyoke St. Pat's on Sunday, but there is hope.

Wow, I wish my S2000 *only* got 35mpg. I've never even recorded a 30mpg tankful.

You had to bring it up!

Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road
by Loudon Wainwright III

Crossing the highway late last night,
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right.
He didn't see the station wagon car.
The skunk got squashed and there you are.

CHORUS:
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
(And it's) Stinking to high heaven

Take a whiff on me. That ain't no rose.
Roll up your window and hold your nose.
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory.

(chorus)

Yeah, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog.
On a moonlit night you got your dead toad frog.
You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon.
The blood and the guts, they gonna make you swoon.

You got your dead skunk In the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinking to high heaven

C'mon, stink. You got it. It's dead. It's in the middle.
Dead skunk in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinking to high heaven

All over the road. Technicolor

Oh, you got pollution.
It's dead.
It's in the middle,
And it's stinkin' to high heaven.
