The Betrayal of the Automobile


At Least it Didn't Happen in Winter

Summer has suddenly arrived, leaving me feeling like a fish - hooked, reeled in, and tossed on the bank, gasping for breath. Having had temperatures mostly in the 60's lately, we hit the low 90's yesterday. During a late-day trip to the grocery store, my passenger-side window went "klunk" and now no amount of button-pushing will serve to roll the window back up.

My lovely little Jetta wagon is now sitting in front of the house with a giant plastic garbage bag covering the window and I am waiting for the service department at the local VW place to open up at seven. I foresee a lot of waiting around (if I am LUCKY). I have two Yoga classes to teach this evening and I am not a happy camper. If I have no wheels I am really not a happy camper.

Please tell me something good or amusing that is happening in your life.

ETA: Katie the Wagon is back from the VW place, all fixed. Big sighs of relief all 'round (but please continue to tell me good or amusing things!)
