Downsizing at 50 MPH


3/13/10 Car detritus, trashed

Joanna may be a far better downsizer than I, but you wouldn't know it from our cars. Mine is definitely kept both cleaner and neater -- perhaps it's a guy thing.

Today our happy little family headed down to Portland to run some errands and take a walk around the Back Bay. Joanna drove, and at one point asked me to see if there was any gum in the center console. One thing leads to another...

And so, in search of gum, I began to sift through the random flotsam and jetsam Joanna has collected in that dangerous little repository between the front seats. Halfway through the task, Joanna said, "You should do the glove compartment, too."

Downsizing happens.

Actually, purging stuff while flying down the road is an excellent time-saver. Now if I can just figure out how to do it while sleeping.
