A BMW in the Parking Lot???

After a somewhat recent meeting of the Woolman Reading Group, Seeker Friend, wide-eyed: RantWoman, speaking of superfluities, today there  was a BMW in the parking lot!

(RantWoman, under breath) Friend, tend to thine own superfluities!

RantWoman does not know a lot about BMW’s but does have a general impression that BMW’s, as is usual for German cars, are very fuel-efficient. Beyond that, RantWoman does not pay a great deal of attention to what is parked in the Meeting parking lot. For one thing, RantWoman is used to arriving at Meeting on the chauffeur-driven limousines operated by king county Metro., supplemented by her own feet.

 RantWoman quite likes this mode of transportation:

--Exercise. Did anyone mention exercise? And Fresh air? And Nature?

--The vehicles are generally the biggest passenger vehicles on the road.

--Leg room and seat height.

--Unbeatable cast.

--Never any shortage of “Time to Pray” moments!

Should RantWoman elaborate?

But the other point, RantWoman lives in a neighborhood where there is just far too much gunfire. RantWoman generally feels safe but still finds the gunfire problematic. For example one evening recently, Little Sister and Irrepressible Nephew were headed home from a nearby bus stop. They came upon some kind of a police investigation: two BMW’s driving along shooting at each other.  What a waste! By comparison, driving a BMW to Meeting seems almost holy!

 So, um, yeah, Wide-eyed Friend, Tend to thine own superfluities!
