Update.

Yesterday, I got the oil changed in the Camry. I decided to take it to the Toyota dealer in the next town: it only took about half an hour! The only downside to it was that it was pouring rain outside--but good thing the Toyota dealer has a nice waiting room. In the afternoon, Beth came over, and we took a walk downtown--we both felt as though we needed some exercise--and since the rain had ceased temporarily, we decided to go for it. We ate at Olive Garden for supper and then went to a lecture by former secretary of state Madeline Albright. Every semester, the university invites someone prestigious to give a talk. It was very interesting and a good close to a good day.
