[Mr. Mulliner]

Quick story (I promise). I had a student in China who was nearly blind. Many of his classmates were asking for Bibles so I thought I'd try to find a Braille Bible in Hong Kong. Do you know how big they are? Just a New Testament would have been bigger than any coffee table book you've seen.

We've been in the market for a used car so I can give my parents' car back to them. I spotted one today that might be a good deal. Doesn't look like much as it's got big dents on both front doors and what looks like some white paint on the driver's door (it's a black car). It's also missing the driver's window and has a few other dings and such.

But it's a '97 Honda Civic with 47,000 miles and is being offered for $3900. I think I can maybe get them down to $3500 and a friend of my nephew's can probably do the body work for a good price. Replacing the window will cost around $200 or maybe less. It's got 5 belts so we could use it do drive short distances with our 3 girls, but mostly it's something I can use on my commute and get much better mileage than the Cutlass Ciera.

So....tomorrow I may go and buy a car.

Yes, I do know how big they are....now!! Not exactly something you can easily carry around.More like early or pre-printing press Bibles, I guess...

Good luck with the car shopping...

Time to call it a night!

Good luck on buying a car. If you are not mechanically inclined, you might have a friend check it out for you.

Could I suggest before cutting a check for the car, or any car for that matter, go to carfax.com and for ten or fifteen dollars get the vehicle history report which will ennumerate any all accidents, floods, or whatever that may have transpired during it's life?

That said, Honda makes great cars.
