Running Car Total

Three Mazdas and a Ford pickup make up our new running car total. Friday was quite an eventful day in automotive adventures for the Price family. The adventure started on Thursday when Ro was late meeting me for lunch at Phở 79. While I was waiting, the owner of Phở 79 asked me if Tristan needed a car. I said “For a matter of fact she does. What do you have in mind?” He told me he had another Mazda RX-8 for sale, and thought I might be interested. Tristan met me and Laurie at Phở 79 that evening, we test drove the car, and loved it, of course. We discussed the car over our dinner of crayfish and other Vietnamese dishes, and then we worked out a deal on the car after dinner.

Laurie and I spent early Friday morning picking up our Ford F100 from the shop, and paying for the RX-8. I went to work and Laurie went to school, then we spent all Friday afternoon taking care of the taxes, title and registration — we are now a three Mazda family.

Crawdad & Chopsticks

I ended up having both lunch and dinner at Phở 79 yesterday. Dinner included a plate of crawdads in a delicious, spicy sauce. The “crayfish”, as the banner at Phở 79 reads, were so much better than the crawdads that we used to gather up from the puddles when the Rio Grande would dry up during the summer months when I was a kid. In my opinion, Phở 79 is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Albuquerque. They have great food and superb service at very reasonable prices. If you are in the Albuquerque area stop in for lunch or dinner. Phở 79 is on the north side of Candelaria just east of I-25.
