The Little Car that Wouldn't
Well , the time has come to announce the name of my little car: Tomato ! (thanx Ozy J). Yesterday, I wanted to make ketchup out of Tomato. Last week I had some work done. Yesterday I was hurrying to work (had a busy schedule). A light comes on CHECK GAUGE, then Tomato lost power while on the freeway. We glided off near the railroad where the freight cars go. Well, Mamma usually has planned for disasters-- but panic, could not find the cell phone. Then, found the cell phone but it was dead!. Starts to rain a bit, and the wind rocks the car side to side. I walked a quarter mile to a call box and they said 20min. 2 1/2 hours later they towed Tomato-- when I looked for my AAA auto club card, I discovered I left my wallet home-- I did have photo ID from work. I began to think-- the engine seized, or maybe the electrical system is fried, how will I afford a new car---- why is this happening to me AGAIN (sounds familiar--- just a real good Vash tantrum !)After wasting most of a day, at least it was only fuel injectors, and crud in the gas tank and filter-- easily fixed. That was a relief, but after a good shake.

Well, break time is closing, and I have to get a bucket of ice for my wrist. It's starting up again, but at least overall a little better than when it started.

I send my friends a meadow , a big picninc blanket and basket of goodies, to enjoy a clear, sunny day.

May 29, 30, 31 I will be in Las Vegas taking my Dad around to see the sights. I've been told that there is a wonderful electric light parade at night, and a bird show! And of course, Hoover Dam --Dad is a retired engineer, and we used to go to engineering society tours (no, I am not an engineer, but I did go to an engineering college-- my degree is in biology with a lot of chemistry). I love the sciences, and I'm fascinated by engineering. I'll be dropping by my friends sites a little later.

Love and Peace, donuts and biscotti!
