Yes, the end of an era is approaching.
No, I am not talking about the senate seat recently vacated by that fat, puffy, drunken, womanizing, son-of-a-mobster.
I'm talking about our van. Yes, our giant 15 passenger dodge van, affectionaly dubbed "The Green Bean," that faithfully toted our clan around for many years and many miles is now posted on craig's list patiently awaiting a transition to new owners. It will soon be gone, along with it's 360 fuel-injected cubic inches, 250 HP, sub-12MPG, and $100+ per fill-up fuel tank.
The Green Bean carried us all safely for many tens of thousands of miles delivering us to various destinations from Maine to Virginia and never once leaving us stranded without a way home. Well done, good and faithful van.
And we will all miss it, except for maybe the kids who had to learn to drive in it.
