EVERY FAMILY HAS ONE...

You know, the show-off, the attention-grabber, the desperate one you adore but who constantly attempts to grab the spotlight. We have one too, and her name is Edna. You'll see.

"No capes!"

SMART CAR TEST DRIVE - VIDEO

Here's the skinny: I would probably only buy one if I needed space, if I only had $15k, if I loved being stared at on the road, or just was in love with the cuteness of it. Otherwise, I might still have to wait for the Prius. 

I really did enjoy the Smart Car, it was good quality (materials, the cage, etc.) and definitely cute, but there's not enough value for my needs. Meaning, I would rather have more space and more car and pay just a bit more money for a Prius, and the Smart Car uses only gas. 

People ask about the mileage, and I believe it's 33/45 even though unofficially, the girl was told people are getting into the 50's. Not too shabby. The version here that we test-drove was the Cabrio and with the upgrades and taxes, was right around $17K, give or take. They are definitely worth looking into, and are indeed fun. I'm glad I did it, so I won't see one zipping around and wonder, "What are those little things like to drive?"

I know what's at the end of the rainbow, it's a litter box ok! 

TWO MORE LITTLE VIDEOS: SUNSET AND CRAZY WILBUR

I can't seem to find a way to set my Flip Videos to music, they aren't friendly with Macs unfortunately. I tried a recommended application yesterday but alas, it did not work.

Anyway, below is a video of Wilbur, riveting stuff I know.

ALKI BEACH BLADING ON 5/18/08

With the Seattle skyline as a backdrop...look at the beautiful baby geese.

I'm not sure why I think I can really take great videos while blading, but I sure tried! Check out the young geese, they're sooooo adorable.

Here's another video of the beautiful condos along the beach area at Alki, and the people thinking I'm crazy for trying to shoot video.

MY SUNDAY NIGHT BIKE ADVENTURE

This is my first bike adventure with my Flip Video, and yes, I was safe about it. As you will see, I still haven't perfected it but come on, aren't the views beautiful?

Exciting news, I now have my videos on my YouTube channel - holla!
