The final 15 or so wedding pictures have been scanned and posted, so all of you who know where to look can scroll to the bottom of that page to see ’em. *whew*.

(Almost) One Month Jeep Report. My experience with the Chrysler company’s flagship brand has been a pretty smooth one so far; I’ve enjoyed a month of smooth, seamless driving, peace of mind, and general happiness. The steering on the Jeep is smooth, unlike the jerky, nerve-wracking motion of the Taurus—a sustained turn to either side brought on strange pulls and slips in the steering wheel, like the belt was going bad. The radio has a funny habit of losing its stations on hot days, but the buttons aren’t obscured by the cupholder, and overall it’s a better unit than the Delco model from the Ford. The driver’s window tends to rattle when it’s rolled partially down and the door is shut—I’ll have to pull the door apart and tighten the channels inside at some point. Average MPG is around 21 highway, which is better than the 16 I was told. Finally, the fluids are all still very clean after 3,000 miles, unlike the chocolate soup the Taurus used to make. All in all, I’m very, very pleased. (Added on 7/22: The rear liftgate seems to randomly choose whether to lock itself when the switch on the door is thrown; it’s about a 50/50 shot. Curious.)
