She has been on a 2 or 3 day roaming pattern.
I suspect she has a wide territory.
I’m trying to bribe her.

Worst: ‘05 Crysler Pacifica — It’s a nice car, I just wish it hadn’t started breaking down with less than 10K miles on it. I think the service shop is considering putting a revolving door in just for me and the green hunk of stuff.
Best: It’s a tie between a ‘91 Dodge Shadow and our ‘96 Jeep Grand Cherokee — never stranded with either of these and they were both bought new (which is why we went for the Pacifica — no one told us they changed for the worst after merging).

My day was just dandy, thanks.
Had to get up earlier than usual because I had a contractor coming over to give us a bid on turning our small covered patio into a “catio” (cat enclosure.) Then I ran some errands before heading home. We were about 86 and sunny today ... heading for 88 tomorrow and 90 on Friday. Pretty typical fall weather here for us.
It was so hot here in August (105-110ish) that we actually visited Alaska for 10 days to “cool off,” LOL! That was our second visit to Alaska (we took a cruise there in May.) And my wonderful DH (bless his heart) wants to return for a visit in FEBRUARY (so he can see Northern Lights.) Hmmm.... I’m a California gal, I don’t know that I can handle Alaska in WINTER!!!!
I have fairly short auburn hair myself ... just got it trimmed on Saturday since it was getting a bit fly-away and scraggly.

I had a little black Corvair in the 70’s. The windshield wipers didn’t work so when it rained I tied strings to them, cracked the windows a bit, and had my passengers pull back and forth on the strings to wipe the windows as I drove.
It also stalled if you went below 5mph so I usually coasted through stop signs.
My friends and I had some pretty fun times in that car...
