oh congrats, i bet you love it! i do love my highlander. even when i had to have the car serviced last week, i turned my nose up at the Corolla and Camry in favor of a Rav4, when they gave me a loaner. i just cannot stand to ride in a car any more, feels like my butt is dragging on the ground. need to be up higher to feel i can see comfortably.

Secret Garden thinks she’s aghast at the Seahawk/Packer call, the kvetching in Wisconsin is all over the airwaves. I couldn’t believe it! Nobody is talking about anything else.
