The Road to Sedalia

Not looking forward to transporting four angry, frightened and traumatized cats 1700 miles. We are going with two per car. Taz and Gigi will probably go with Eric, Boo and Charlotte will go with me. Boo and Charlie will have a bit quieter ride, but I doubt that they will like it any better. We decided that we are finally at the point where we don't need two Honda Elements. We actually need one of our cars to be a truck, but we'll get to that after we arrive in Sedalia and probably not until we buy our second house, which will be a fixer-upper and we'll have more of a need for a truck. So we'll eventually end up with three vehicles. We went ahead and traded in my Element for this (not so) little beauty. Hard not to want to call her "Big Red," but Eric rather likes "Countess Bathory." Only history buffs will get it. I'm not sure I really relate to a wicked Transylvanian countess, but the car does have kind of a look.
