Decided to do a little housecleaning of the links on the left.
I removed a couple of OTM Blogs for cause, to wit, lack of posting. I then added a couple of replacements to fill those spots. One is called My Cancer and is the story of a news reporter’s day to day life with the big C. It is hosted on the NPR site and you can subscribe to his podcasts of his essays for Morning Edition if you are so inclined. The other is called Robservatons and I have been reading him for awhile now, but hesitated to link the blog because I had a hard time believing all the situations he wrote about were true, they seemed to have a Penthouse Letters feel to them. Maybe all that stuff does happen to him, either way the writing is entertaining.
While I was at it I added a couple more under the Miata Blog section, mainly because I can. Steve Speak is mostly tech talk from an Apple Cult member, but hey, he drives a Miata, so he ain’t all bad. The writer of In Case I Forget used to own a Miata (although she may have another because at one point I read “my first Miata” in a post) until it was smushed by someone who ran a red light. It is the story of her battle with the resulting brain injury she suffered.
On an unrelated note, today I got entry #21 in the My Favorite Miata Photo 2 Contest, so if you haven’t already sent in your entry, please do so Jame’s thumbnail won’t be lonely on page two. FYI, the winners will be chosen by popular vote, so buttering up this writer will not help any.

Hi Brian – thanks for the link and yes, it was my FIRST Miata that died. The second day I was out of the wheelchair (learning to use my walker!) I was at the dealership looking and trying to make my broken leg bend enough to sit in the (new then) 2004 model.
The day I got off the walker and onto a cane I went and bought my SECOND Miata. 2004 Black Cherry. Sweet.
Everyone said I was crazy to buy another one. My response was the same as my orthopedic surgeons: I can’t believe you lived through that wreck. That car really protected you!
Noticed a huge surge in traffic to your site huh? 🙂
I’m on my 3rd Miata, a ’90, a ’95 and now the ’03. Both the early two were traded in at around 120K miles.
Based on my totally unscientific guess after seeing the accident photos you have there, I’m not so sure anything short of a M1 tank would have helped.
