Wow, I can't believe its november already.  Heather and I are getting excited for a Thanksgiving trip we are taking to California.  I will then get to meet the rest of her family.  We just bought a new car, it is a Toyota Echo.  What a neat little car!  It gets around 40 Miles per gallon.  I will try and get some pictures on here soon.  I am excited to get going on some pottery for this years Christmas presents.  I am glad to anounce that my salsa worked out great this year, and we also made cider, which was an interesting experiment with a few mishaps, like a bottle exploding in the middle of the night.  Everything went well with my birthday party and a big thanks to all those involved.  I had an interesting happening on Halloween:  While driving down I-15 at about 55 MPH one of my rear wheels, yes the whole thing, suddenly flew off my car.  The wheel hit another car, causing some damage, but I got to the side of the road safely and none was hurt.  this incident spawned the idea of getting a new car.
