Hat tip to Wagga for this find:
As of Saturday evening, my kid brother is the proud new owner of my 2002 Ford Focus. I'm not entirely sure what possessed me to sell it, since I JUST PAID IT OFF, but it's sold. I was a crazy hippy before, but now I'm an EXTRA crazy hippy. Because Southern Californians have cars. WE JUST DO. And SoCal natives are very attached to their cars, in the way most humans might be attached to a pet, or a child, or a limb. But the car and I never REALLY got along anyway, so perhaps it's for the best that I finally let go -- and now, the car is in a relationship with someone who really LOVES HIM.

Having joined the ranks of the transportationally challenged, Sunday was a very eventful adventure in figuring out how to do things without a car. Things like running errands, which just became exponentially more complicated.

I hope she continues to report on a car-less experience in SoCal. Living without a car in my area can present a number of challenges, but Southern California is quite a bit more complicated.

In other news, for those who missed it the bizarre Laura Richardson foreclosure drama continues.

Bird Nests in Gas-Guzzler

I can’t think of a better use for a 14 miles-per-gallon truck...


ORANGE – The 2008 Ford F-150 gets about 14 miles-per-gallon in the city, but a small bird found a shiny, red F-150 with a lift kit in the parking lot of the Ford of Orange dealership to be environmentally friendly.

Workers at the dealership, located at 1350 W. Katella Ave., noticed the bird had built a nest at the base of the windshield when the truck was delivered to the lot last week. After further inspection, Floor Manager Paul Corrigan said the bird had laid two eggs.

"That's probably never going to happen again in a lifetime," Corrigan said. "I've seen rabbits and possums, but for a bird to build its nest right there is something special."

Corrigan said the dealership won't try to move the nest and won't sell the truck until the eggs hatch.

"We've had a couple of guys come in and make offers," Corrigan said. "I think I'm going to put up a bird feeder and water bath."

Until the eggs hatch, the truck has been roped off and has become a conversation piece for salesmen and shoppers.

"It makes people more comfortable while they're here," Corrigan said. "It's a new birth for Ford."
