200,000 Miles!!!

We made it. 200,000 miles and counting. My Nissan Altima has been very good to me. Not many repairs, mostly just the usual stuff: brakes, tires, battery, alternator, stuff like that. I decided it's time to give her a name....Phidippides. (The Greek Marathon Runner) Well that's kinda long and hard to say so how bout Phidip. Ya, I like the sound of that. In these economic times it's nice to not have a car payment and have a reliable set of wheels that gets you from A to B. I'm so proud of my baby. To infinity and beyond! Well maybe I'd settle for 250,000. A quarter million miles ain't bad for any car.

Snakes Alive!

Yes, those are my kids holding a 12 foot python. It is too heavy for one person to carry, even an adult. I believe it was over 250 lbs if I remember correctly. They were not scared at all. In fact they wanted to buy a snake and take one home. I said no.
