Mile 2057: A Tribute in Richmond, VA

It may jinx myself,  but I am going to pay a brief tribute to my Acura TL. In just less than a week it has carried me over 2000 miles with not so much as squeak. It has maneuvered through pot-hole covered dirt roads at 10 MPH, through traffic at 80 MPH, and down empty highways at well into 3 figures.

I spent 39 hours so far sitting in its seat, sometimes with my bum-warmer on, and sometimes with the windows wide open for the chilly air to greet me. I have chatted with friends on the Bluetooth, and been guided by the Navigation although sometimes in quite interesting paths!  I have spent hours listening to songs, happily belting out many  tunes to the steering wheel, and even shedding some tears for love lost.  And finally have expanded my understanding thanks to Wiesel's book on tape.

And while I was typing this sitting in the very parking spot in the picture, a nice woman stamped by bumper with the two hex screws holding her front license plate on. While I would love to have her insurance replace my bumper cover (effectively fixing an assortment of other aesthetic scratches), I chose to just forgive her and keep the two hexagonal dents as a souvenir for the car. Bet you can't wait to see what souvenirs I got for y'all!!!
