The Sad State of America

This is an example of numerous intelligent critics who see a dim future for America in light of the current (and a couple previous) administration's fiscal and economic policies. This video plays automatically when loading the blog, so I'll take it down after a few days since it becomes an annoyance by its always-on status after being shuffled further down in the blog. After removing the video player in a few days the video can be seen here.

Economy Car

Last time I bought gas for my car I set the trip odometer in order to check my mileage. Refilled my tank today with 7.304 gallons after driving 246.2 miles, which results in 33.71 mpg. And those are all in-town, stop-and-go miles, so I'm assuming highway mileage would be even better. I like it!

I drive under 60 mph (usually), skip at least one of the lower gears when I can, start and stop slowly, and keep my tires inflated. Signs of old age, I guess, but I think these all contribute to better mileage.

Every time I begin thinking about replacing my 1987 Honda I realize I'd be driving something that would likely not get as good mileage as I currently get. So I press on. Am really thankful for the divine blessing of a car that meets my needs so economically. Thank You, Lord.
