December 17, 2013. Ridgeland, Mississippi. The Escape.

It is a good car, but we never drive it.   We bought the Escape used in Texas, when we were flying to visit the family and renting a car.   It has been a great vehicle.   Our practice was to leave it at David and Suzanne's house, then use it when we flew into town.  One year shortly after Andrew and Christina moved to Jackson, we drove from Texas to Mississippi and we left the car at their house.  It has been there ever since because we started driving the truck from Maryland after I retired, so we drive to Texas in the truck.

Finally, today, we have gotten Mississippi license plates for the Escape.  It took us all of ten minutes and $35.   Now the new tags must be put on the old Escape and then we are legal.   The Escape has been driven 150,000 miles.   Ken does not wish to drive north again so we will once again fly.   We will keep the Escape in Mississippi to drive when we are here.   We must figure out what to do with the truck.   When we leave for our five month journey, the truck will stay with Andrew and Christina, so they will have four vehicles at the house.   Life is complicated but at least now we have one car with a Mississippi license and one with a Texas license.  The vehicles are both legal.
