i've had a 1984 chrysler town and country station wagon for a very long time, since 1992, when my aunt and uncle gave it to me. it ran fine right up until the last year more or less, but then i bought i truck. I tried in january to get some guys to take it off my hands, and finally i managed to do that. They'll come pick it up tomorrow at 8am, and that is one less thing that i have to think about. it will be gone.

update: it is gone, they came about 7:50am and rolled it up on the flatbed, i had that car for 10 years, and put a sum of 30k miles on it.

 . . .

. . . . Many philosophy departments dropped their language requirements over the last decade or so – maybe it's time to reinstate something similar.

these are skills that people should have graduating college… not just graduate students.
