It was about 90 today, dry and windy. So, pollen was doing its best to make my red car yellow.


It was so bad that I needed the windshield wipers to clean it off.


As part of the “clean the house” project I finally found a new home for the exercise bike. There is nothing wrong with it, I just have a bicycle now and don’t need the stationary one.

As I carried it out to my car a woman walking through the parking lot scowled at me.
“You’re not throwing that out, are you?” she asked.
“Driving it to a friend’s house,” I said.
Granted, my car isn’t in the best of shape, but it is distressing to see it confused with the dumpster.

And, the power locks on it have started being very strange. They are now randomly locking and unlocking whenever they feel like it.
On the same day that a Terminator movie opens.
Coincidence? I doubt it.
The machines are starting to take over and starting with my car!
(Despite that, I liked the new movie. Terminator movies have a habit of having things out of dreams I’ve had. It is very strange seeing them on the screen...)

I’m also happy to say my phone rang again today!
Yes, the local police were looking for money.
You would think they’d know where to find it, wouldn’t you? Put some detectives on it!

As there is an excellent chance tomorrow will mark 2 weeks with no progress at all on the job front, I signed up for both job fairs next week. It probably won’t help, but it won’t hurt, right?

LOL--poor car!

I can't say I have been there with the locks issue, though. But since I'm too cheap to get a car with automatic locks, I am doomed to spend the rest of my days telling any person riding in my car to lock the door when they get out, then having to lean across and lock it myself whenever they forget (which is only always).

:-)

Good luck with the job fair!

When I bought my car (used with 70000 miles on it) everything worked well.
But, electrical problems have been slowly moving forward.
It started with the back windshield wiper. At first, it only worked when the front ones were on. Then, when the front ones were on an spraying washing fluid. Then, when the front ones were on and front and back were spraying. Then, nothing.
Then, the dome light. For a while it went on when I closed the doors, and off when I opened them. Finally, off forever.
Now, the locks...
At some point it will get to the computer in the engine. Then, my car will turn into a terminator and that will be that.

The job fairs are until the end of next week. But, I needed to sign up now.
Thank you for the well wishes!
