20,000 miles over the road

Seems like only four months ago I was celebrating my 10,000 mile anniversary with my blue Geo hatchback, Betty.

Betty and I have seen a lot of things together these last few months -- Boston and Harrisburg three times, Maryland, D.C. and Johnson City once each -- and she's still a game little car. Today we hit our 20,000 mile anniversary (at 93,842 miles, outside of Oxford, MA), and we show few signs of slowing.

In honor of our impending milestone, I got Betty new front brakes and an oil change a thousand miles ago.

In return, she's given me miles and miles of distance between me and whatever I'm leaving at the time -- bringing me mile-by-mile closer to many of you.

Hurrah for Betty, and hurrah for 34 mi/gal!
