HighMileage

"High mileage" is a description often applied to automobiles. From that phrase we can infer a number of possibilities:

  • It's covered a lot of country, could be mostly in one county, but perhaps all over the continent.
  • Might have a few dings in it, or some unattractive idiosyncrasies.
  • Hard to discern the maintenance and care schedule; buy at your own risk.
  • Maybe one caretaker, maybe driven by a bunch of folks.
  • The "inside" -- engine and systems -- may have been carefully maintained, or not. 
  • The "outside" -- exterior -- may have been protected and cared for meticulously, or painted over repeatedly, or completely ignored.
Some folks these days squeeze 200K or 300K from a well cared for vehicle. I know a couple folks who have gotten north of 500K miles out of their trucks. Impressive! 

A similar mindset applies to the way we treat our bodies, minds, and souls. The care and attention we invest makes a huge difference, in both performance and longevity.

We get to choose... (and do, daily).
