right. exactly correct. yes! my one mistake (maybe that's not the right
word. how about, poor planning?) was that i decided to go back to grad
school after i bought the van. and the school i chose, and was later
accepted at, and plan to attend in the fall, is on top of a hill in
brattleboro, vermont. i won't be living on campus, and i will need
transportation to and from school from town -- anywhere from three to 10
miles one way. my bike will do for a while, and i'm looking forward to
doing the synchro thing in the vermont snow, but i worry about trying to
maintain my baby on a grad student's income (or lack thereof). however,
my honda was terrible, absolutely horrible, in the snow, so ultimately
i'm better off with the van.
