A couple from the last week: brand new XC90 and a 142 automatic that will not die with a half-million miles, no leaks. I spoke to the owner.

I've never been to Santa Fe, even though we spent a lot of time in the SW as kids.

My son saw an 850 wagon in Baltimore's Fells neighborhood the other day in seemingly perfect condition. Dark green.

My wife and I visited Santa Fe in the 1990s. It was memorable as the best breakfast ever. It was also memorable as the most expensive breakfast we had ever had - $30.

Big tourist town , plus people from LANL try to live there vs deserted Los Alamos

I could tell you why I was there, but then I would have to blow you up.

I remember the fishermen from time to time used to catch an old mine from WWII in their nets. This was in the baltic sea during the eighties.
