It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood...

Internet, meet my new friend Michele.



Michele is a fellow city hippie. She drives a killer vintage Mercedes, has a predilection for giggling, and recently chopped off all her hair. (She tried to cut it herself but quickly realized the folly of her ways and went to a professional. Result: supercuteness.)

Michele is also a wicked biodiesel nerd, which makes sense since she's co-owner of the city's first retail pump, Dogpatch Biofuels. I've been to Dogpatch twice now to fill up, and I've had the chance to shoot the breeze with Michele both times. I predict some day we will drink beer together.

I'll get into the whole biodiesel thing later - pros and cons, why I chose my TDI over a Prius, etc etc. Right now I'm just basking in the unexpected side benefits: like-minded peeps and gasoline that smells like fried chicken.
