Still contemplating that ride

Our high yesterday was 45 F, with wind.  I did not consider that bicycle weather.  Today may be either warmer or quieter or both.

Or not.

Also still debating the car question.  Haven't bought a new car since 1974, but our current driving habits don't put much mileage on a car.  Like, maybe 4000 miles a year between the two vehicles.  Which means that we're buying years on Maine roads and through Maine winters rather than buying a lot of miles.  This makes a 2005 or 2006 model with 50,000 miles on it look more attractive than a 2004 or 2003 with 20,000...

But I'm not finding that high-mileage recent model, so a 2008 car with zero miles on it looks like a possibility.  We could still be driving that in 2020...

And about that weather

43 F at noon, with wind around 20 mph.  No bicycle ride in that scenario.  Walk, instead.

Minor simplification

Well, Wife's car (97 Subaru) has passed inspection for another year.  So that potential complication has removed itself.
