I have a thing about numbers. There are "good" numbers, such as the number eight, and "bad" numbers such as the number fifty-one.
Don't ask me why, but I've always been obsessed with my car odometer. Thankfully I have a 1997 Subaru that has an analog odometer. I love to watch my odometer turn to "good" numbers while I am behind the wheel. I've even gone as far as having Alan get out of the driver's seat and letting me drive when the odometer was turning to a "good" number. I was truly disappointed one day when I let Chaz borrow my car while his truck was out of commission. The odometer turned while he was driving and I missed out big time.
On Monday, I had a very exciting morning driving Tessa to school. The odometer turned to the "good" number of 200,000! I even had my camera waiting for the big event. I think the next "good" number coming up will be 200,222, so I don't have too much of a wait. Right now I'm at 200,047 or something close, and I'm not thrilled in the least......
Here's a picture of the big event:
(As you can see, the tachometer was at about 600 rpm so you know I was idling in traffic.I don't take pictures and drive at the same time, right Tessa? You may also note that I was getting low on gas.)

For some reason, Amelia wasn't thrilled about all this.
