Pilot's Log

Found at a Dollar Tree store. I bought it because it resembles my sister's VW "New" Beetle, which is also white. I'll give it to my nephew when I see him at my sister's "official" second wedding next week.

Lessee...

May have bagged a Diesel Bug for my sister in Chattanooga. May go there on Saturday with Sis to check it out.

When Dad and me visited Otis (neighbor recovering from stroke at Ft. Sanders Hospital) this afternoon, Patricia Neal herself was there and all three of us got to meet her. Just watched one of her movies on video to commerate yon acquaintence.

Bought a book for a buddy of mine. Not mentioning the book or the buddy as it would be a surprise and I don't know if he reads this blog.

Found a glitch that had been causing my trouble. Thanks to LJ.

Man, life is getting exciting. More to come. :|

...or cars.com has a real BUG in it.

Just spent the midday running to car dealerships to check to see whether the Volkswagen Beetles they had for sale were in fact Diesel-powered. Nope, they weren't.

I am shopping on behalf of my elder sister, who is selling off her Honda minivan as with Gennie going to college she doesn't need such a big vehicle...and wants something cute that can run on bioDiesel. And so a diesel Beetle would be ideal.

So she looked up cars.com and keyworded "diesel" in her search...

Only, as I found out, cars.com has defaults on what information they add to a car's listing if the dealer only gives the VIN number. And sometimes the information is faulty...like as to whether a specific car runs on diesel or ordinary gasoline.

Later tonight I have to give Sis the bad news. :( Diesel Beetles are RARE critters indeed...catching one is going to take a real safari effort.
