The Camry rolled 150,000 miles the other day and is still going strong. You gotta love a Toyota engine. The next 150K may take a bit longer, given that I’m driving about 6 miles a day now that I use GRTC for my commute.

Loving my GRTC
I’m riding the bus this week to evaluate my commuting options. It’s been a great experience so far and the reasons for continuing to ride are piling up fast.
* The bus is faster than driving.
* The bus is cheaper than driving.
* I don’t have to pay to park downtown.
* The bus is significantly less stressful.
Today, I got to add another bullet point to that list.
* The bus connects me with history in a way my auto commute never did.
As I boarded this morning, I noticed a small, purple seat placeholder in the front left seat with an image of Rosa Parks on it. Today, and always, that’s her seat. Had I driven this morning, I wouldn’t have thought about Rosa and her place in history.
The RTD has a note on it here. You can read more about Rosa Parks on rosaparks.org or Wikipedia.
I’m loving my GRTC.
