| RIP Betsy |
She was a very good car. So good that she had two names. Her Southern name was Bertha, while in the Great Lakes state of Wisconsin, she was usually called Betsy.
Betsy spent just under five years with me. We drove many thousands of miles together; many trips to Racine were taken. She even carried me on an impromptu trip to the Eastern Seaboard for a lesbian wedding at a Quaker meeting house in Brooklyn. She didn't care for the mountains of Pennsylvania, though she respected that they bordered my grandfather's hometown.
I wish her peace and quiet now.
In Betsy/Bertha's honor, I will soon be attaching a "Pro-Accordion and I Vote" bumper sticker to my newer Toyota Tercel. She goes by Eve.
