I had to bring my i3 in to have the airbags replaced as part of a factory recall campaign. Apparently, women in the fifth percentile of body size (approximately 5 feet tall and weighing 110 pounds) are slightly more likely to suffer a neck injury during a frontal collision if they’re not wearing their seatbelt. It’s a very small edge case, and it requires a person to not be wearing a seatbelt, but either way, the vehicle is ever so slightly outside of federal regulations hence the recall.  I have been given the X2 pictured above until the service has been completed.  Jeanine has been eyeing it lustfully so I have made a point to hide the keys.

I drove into Boston earlier than usual this morning affording me the time for a nice 5 mile walk before work. I opted to carry my drone rather than my camera with me, pausing a few times for interesting aerial landscapes.  I am glad I took the opportunity because the beautiful autumn morning gave way to a dreary afternoon of grey skies and rain.
