As my dear friend Kelly brought to my attention, I have not been posting. At all. Sorry folks. We’ll try to remedy the situation.
I was actually thinking about the blog last week after experiencing a few silly incidents. Apparently my current favorite use of the blog is to convey my small troubles in life.
So, incident #1. My car is dirty. I decide to go to the carwash. Simple enough, right? Well, my current car has a sunroof. Oh so fancy, right? Well, sort of. 80% of the time it won’t open, and 99% of the time it’s not quite closed right. You can see where this is going.
I fiddled with the switch (it’s motorized) until I was sure it was sealed tight. I enter the carwash. I get wet. Water is just sort of streaming in through the edges of the sunroof. I’m not sure if I shold try to fiddle with the switch more or if that will only make the situation worse. So I just let the soapy water run down my back. Then when I exit the carwash, driving down the sloping driveway to the street, more water runs down that has collected in the sunroof. I swab at the leather seats with a shirt that’s in the backseat (sometimes it pays off to have random junk in your car) and turn up the heat all the way in an effort to dry things off. This makes me quite hot because the heater is one of the car’s best-functioning features. However it doesn’t do much to dry me off and I have to go to the grocery store looking like I just got off Splash Mountain. Except I smell soapy.
Moral of the story: Ride a bike. No sunroof. No carwash. No worries.
Well, there are worse things to smell like than soap… ; )
(Good to hear from you!)
