I like that Hyundai Elantra wagon that they don't make anymore.

It's colder in Phoenix today than most of the country.
Our fall lasted about 5 days.
After dealing with selling my truck, I will never buy another car. Leasing means a constant payment, but when you factor in the expense of repairs and resale value, it evens out. Plus I get bored of vehicles after awhile and with (hopefully) electric cars that can go farther than 20 miles on a charge and google cars coming up around the corner, it seems like a silly time to buy another gas guzzler.
Looking good!
Our fall lasted about 5 days.Not knowing where to take a car for proper service at a fair price after warranty especially if the problem is exotic is the principal reason we started leasing. Car is always under warranty. It's not cheap, but it is hassle free and that is worth a lot to me. Also driving a nearly new car all the time is very sweet. We are very fortunate to be able to afford this luxury. But honestly, I would rather step down a level or two on the vehicle selection than go back to buying if it came to that.
Looking good!

That reminds me of a woman that I used to work with ~15 years ago. Seemingly daily, she would announce that she had lost X pounds, but would always get lunch from fast food places and drink a lot of soda. I felt like slapping her and saying "NET! How much did you lose NET? -20lbs??!"
However, on the subject of nutrition, I've been trying to eat maximally nutritious food on account of the calorie restriction. So I decided to make a tasty lentil soup to which I add spinach. I go to the store and five pound bags of baby spinach are on sale. Only $0.50 more than 10 oz bags of baby spinach. So I course I buy the 5 pound bag. Spinach in my salad, spinach in my lentil soup, spinach on my pizza, sautéed spinach. I'll be damned but the two of us may actually polish off a 5 pound bag of spinach in a week.
Then I was reading about nuts on line and I come across this incredible recipe for Salted Caramel Almond Butter. Clever clever recipe that is homemade almond butter sweetened not with caramel but softened dates, which really do have a delicious caramel flavor. Roasted salted almonds, softened dates, a little milk and some salt. That stuff is like crack. You don't want it around if you're trying to diet.

The fun part of these sessions is going to the shop and chatting with the other participants.
