Say Hello to Duke

The newest addition to the Roberts' family is Duke, our new Jeep Patriot. It took us a long time to figure out what kind of car we wanted, and we looked at just about every different kind of car you can imagine, but we finally found one that had what we were looking for: 4X4, roomy, good warranty, good MPG, decent power, and some storage room. The Jeep has all those things.

We (I) named him Duke after the G.I. Joe commando, which I thought was fitting for a Jeep. The Patriot is not quite so sleek and myserious as Snake-Eyes, nor as butch and brainless as Sgt. Slaughter, so Duke seemed a good middle-ground fit.

So now Sweets (our Honda Accord) has a boyfriend. Once we can park them both in a garage together, we are hoping for a little harvest of 4X4 Honda ATVs.
