Good Morning! September seems to be willing to say good bye with some nicer weather, which gives a promising outlook for a "Golden October". This is my time of the year. I just love the autumn colors, the early morning mist painting beautiful pictures and the flocks of geese heading south. They have already started their annual trip to more friendly places than Germany - and this is not a political statement, just a mere meteorigical observation. I am coming closer to solving my car problem. With the little we drive these days, the best would to give it up completely and call a taxi each time we want to go places. But having a car also means having a tiny bit of freedom, so we will need to find a vehicle we both can get in and out  and drive it. The best would be getting some old, cheap hulk of a 4WD, but I am not much of a car mechanic and would have to take the car to a garage even for getting the spark plugs exchanged. Those dinosaurs also cost a fortune in terms of vehicle tax and car insurance, so I ruled out this idea. The only solution to the issue seems to be buying a used, but rather young Smart Forfour, which is very similar to the car we have now. It rides much higher than my Volkswagen, so getting in and out of it is more like entering a SUV. This car is nothing more than a shopping cart with a motor and a roof, but that´s exactly what we need it for. Now I´ll have to do some math to find out whether we can afford it. Here is to a great day!
