01.01.2019 NEW YEARS DAY
Carla and I wish friends, family and everyone we know and all those, around 2800 readers, who visit and read this blog every month, a Very Happy and Healthy New Year. In 2015 readership, quite honestly, averaged in the low teens. Now back to the day at hand. Yesterday we traveled from the Riverside RV Park in Arcadia, FL. Currently we’re back in Clermont, FL at the Orlando Thousand Trails RVP. We’ll be here for fourteen nights. It will be from this campground we will jump start our travels for 2019. Our travel schedule for the next four weeks. To see all our planned travels go to the top of this blog and click on the “TRVEL PLANS” title.

On another note my brother Dennis has been looking for new home. If all goes well in the next week of so he might actually close on a condo in Boynton Beach, FL. More to follow on this topic. On a dumb note yesterday, on our trip back here, we saw a Carvana Vending Machine. We had plenty of quarters with us, but I doubt we had enough to purchase any of the cars available.

INDIANAPOLIS – That seven-story glass structure isn’t an indoor sky-diving center or a massive Venus flytrap greenhouse. It’s not a satellite station to spy on Mars’ dirt organisms or a giant display case for Funko Pops. There have been a lot of theories during the tower’s construction. What it actually is: A car vending machine. Indiana’s first Carvana opened here Thursday, with the motto: “Because car buying shouldn’t suck.” Carvana’s process — buying, selling and financing cars — happens mostly online. Buyers shop more than 10,000 cars and can schedule to pick it up at the vending machine or have the car delivered to their house, possibly as soon as the next day. The seven-story Carvana car vending machine opens Thursday at 8130 Summit Hill Drive on the north side. (Photo: Amy Bartner / IndyStar). If they choose the vending machine, they’ll meet a Carvana employee, who’ll hand them an over-sized novelty coin to place into a slot. The action symbolically “vends” a car, which the customer can immediately drive away. The intention is to cut down on the time it takes to haggle with a salesperson and then go through a dealer’s financing department. Each car is certified through Carvana’s own inspection process, with no reported accidents or frame damage. Buyers can try out the car for seven days to make sure they want it. Carvana, which opened six years ago, offers a money-back guarantee, with some limitations. (From USA Today)
