Well, my car left me stranded at the local Rally store after I stupidly turned off the engine to go in and get a fountain coke. When, upon my return, it would do nothing. It gave no sound at all. Oh, oh. I've been there before and it wasn't good. So I called for a tow. It did start before the truck got there, so I canceled the tow and drove "directly to the dealership, passed go and did NOT collect $200". (For you Monopoly fans)
At the dealership, my worse fears were realized. NEW STARTER!! Thank God for extended warrenties. The total bill was $365 (for a starter mind you) but my portion was only $107. And one is between the rock and the hard place with needing a starter because you ain't going far without one.
It is, surprise, surprise, sunny and breezy today. High of 75 degrees. Got the doors and windows open. But by evening, it is hotter in the house that it ever was outside. That is when you utilize the screened porch.
I ran across this in my old emails the other day and being a child of the 1960's, I laughed.

8. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
9. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
10. You take naps.
