Fluffbuff

The past two weeks have seen a dead digital scale (not repairable), a broken digital camera (repaired), two power outages, and my G5 choking and sputtering. Now, my old Honda Civic has broken down twice in a day.

On the way home from physical therapy, I stopped for groceries and the poor thing refused to start again. Called AAA, went to a mechanic, got battery replaced, went home, and it happened again. Back to the shop. The engine was overheated to the point that the mechanic needs to let it cool off overnight before he can even attempt a diagnose. Oy. Not good. I've had the car since 1992, and it's starting to look like this might be curtains. And did I mention that AAA kept me on hold so long that my cellphone batteries died?

I sure hope the technology gods have been appeased by this household's sacrifices and leave us alone for a while. Just to be on the safe side, though, I think I am going to have my G5 retrofitted with a hand crank. How 'bout that?
