Car-nage

As many of you may already know, Paul and I had the good fortune to purchase a second car last week. It's a little sad to be ending the era of carpooling. For the last 3 years we spent pretty much every morning and afternoon together, and I'll miss that shared time. It will be really nice though to be able to just head straight home at the end of the day.

Anywho, our new pride and joy is a 2006 Ford Focus Wagon, in "Cloud 9 White" (gotta love cheesy auto maker paint names). I love that it's got more storage room than our Corolla. It will be awesome to be able to bring our bikes up to ME and ride to the beach.

I filled up the tank for the first time today and got a kind of strange surprise when  popped the gas cap:

 

How could they have known how unfortunate this alignment would seem 5 years in the future. It's been exactly one year since the Deep Water Horizon exploded . I can't help but feel like they regret the choice to put this on all their gas caps....can't take that back now!
