* I got an early Christmas present from esrblog: a brand-new, 19-inch flatscreen LCD monitor. Lovely to look at, easier on the eyes to use, and I now have four square feet of desk space I didn't have before!

* I have decided to let the insurance company take my Subaru and shop for another car. The leading contender is a certified pre-owned Honda Civic 4-door sedan, with about 50,000 miles on it. Except for the color, which is a metallic antique gold, it looks like this. The price is pretty close to Edmunds.com's estimate for such a vehicle too. I've put down a very small deposit--enough to get the Sales Guy to hang onto it till Monday, at which time I'll seal the deal unless something else looks better.

* I have not managed to do anything else constructive this weekend, other than helping esrblog obtain and set up the monitor. Tomorrow I work, for sure!

Thanks. But do you mean the car, or the monitor? :-)

There speaks the geek! I talk about a car and a monitor, and you praise the monitor. It *is* a very nice monitor, however, and not all that expensive.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Honda. They've got almost as good a reputation for reliability as Toyotas.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I owned a Honda once before (it too was totaled by an SUV), and I bought it from the same dealership that has the 2001 Civic I'm considering now.
