car crash
Last night I fixed the wipers. I stripped some copper wire and bent it into an eyelet, and attached it to the wiper lug missing the bolt-head. Then I tied the wiper transmission arm down with a pair of shoe-laces. Hooray for me, it'll last longer since both laces have to wear out before it fails.
I had an appointment with a metal worker who should have been able to do something permanent, but he didn't show up. Hey, did we used to talk about vehicle design here, or was that another bboard? I'd probably enjoy some of that. |

Cars have always "looked alike". Despite your advanced years, you still haven't recognized the obvious truth in that statement. |

Form following function has never been more true than it is today, and that's a good, not a bad, thing. |

When I was a kid my family and I would see who could guess the makes of cars first. It was trivial to tell a Ford from a Chevy from a Studebaker, even 1/4 mile away. A friend just bought a 2010 Honda Crosstour. It looks exactly like every other silver car on the road. The main reason for having a key that unlocks your car remotely is that it flashes your headlights so you can tell which car is yours. God help you if you park your compact rental car in Costco's parking lot and forget where it is. -- Cheers, Bev xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I'm not proud.

The membership fee for shopping at Costco rules me out. Costco is thinking about building a store in this city, city govt can't decide on where Costco can build the store. Some people used to put little styrofoam balls on their car antennas so they can find their cars in the parking lots.
