twenty july ninety eight four p m the car spa Went to make the car happy this afternoon. It's one of those places where you sit in the car and mechanics swarm around you like you're Marilyn Monroe singing "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend." I love it. It's like a car spa. I used to do all that stuff myself - change my own oil and so forth. I don't anymore. And it's not a prissy thing or even much of a laziness thing - it's more fundamental than that: I no longer have a driveway. I won't work on a car if I have to lie under it with any part of my body sticking out into an area of traffic flow. This seems as appropriate a time as any to mention that I will be gone from Wednesday to Sunday, so you won't see any postcards during that time period. Sorry. © columbine |
