The Big Five-Oh.
Somebody in our family turned 50 recently. 50,000, that is. On June 10th, 144 miles through a tank of gas the reliable, trustworthy, efficient, useful 2005 Subaru Outback began the second half of its journey to 100,000 miles. 
This car has been through quite a bit with this family. It brought all three of our kids home from their places of birth (hospital for Elizabeth, birth clinic for the other two). It's taken Crystal and me on two anniversary get-aways. Carried lumber for the house remodel. Made five trips to Anchorage (one of those being a one-day round-trip for shopping and to pick up an oven). Helped us move into (and out of) two places. Carried pallets for a contract job (five in the back, four on top). Dozens upon dozens of shopping trips. Been an impromptu baby-changing station.
It's been a great car. We look forward to another great 50,000 miles.

Car Games
There are all kinds of car games out there: Wabash, I Spy, games involving the license plate, and Slug Bug just to name a few. I think Joshua may have cornered the Fairbanks market for one car game. Slug Subaru. A long while back we were told that Subaru has 28% of the market on car sales in Fairbanks alone (supposedly). And I tend to believe that. So the next time you're in the car why not play a round of Slug Subaru. Just don't hit too hard ok.

The Good Blogs
I'm giving this a trial run. Right now, I'm only promoting Tech, Business, Venture Capital, and Auto categories, so hopefully the content will be pretty clean. If you see something that would not be in line with my standards of "family friendly," please contact me at once, and send along the URL of the offending article.
