Dream a little dream with me...

2007-06-13

Good morning Boys and Girls.

So...

I've had a slow leak in my right front tire for perhaps a month. It's not bad at all, probably why I haven't taken the time to get the thing repaired. Every Monday morning when I've stopped to get gas for the first half of the week, I've added a few pounds of air and told myself to remember to get the damn thing fixed when I have time.

The day before yesterday, I had my air conditioning recharged by a guy at one of the places for whom I do work, and afterward cursed myself for not remembering to ask him to fix the flat at the same time, which I didn't think about till I was on my way home enjoying a new level of "cool" in the car.

So...

Monday night, this was a dream I had:

I wake up. Make coffee. Realize I'm out of cancer sticks. Damn. Beautiful morning. I decide to run down to the gas station a mile and a half away and buy some smokes, then come back here to enjoy my coffee and spend a little time here on the puter before I go to work.

I do so.

I drive to the station. Since I'm there I fill the car with gas. I walk in, buy a pack, and say hello to the old guy who opens the place.

When I walked back out I look at the tire with the leak. It's gone. So is the right front fender of my car, and upon opening the hood, I see that the motor is gone too.

Here's where it gets weird.

I curse. I'm hopping mad. Some low-life has stolen my tire, fender and motor right out of my driveway overnight.

I get back in to the Jeep, start it up and race home so I can call the cops and report the thievery.

When I get home, I come down here a second and see that I have a couple of messages from friends, and I get engrossed in answering them, telling each of them about what has transpired overnight. I lament the shape of the world. What, I wonder, is becoming of the world when someone steals your motor, fender and tire right off your car while your sleeping? Something MUST be done.

That's it. That's all I remember of the dream.

I do wonder if my Jeep wouldn't get better fuel economy with no motor? Would taking off the other wheels increase it further still?

Join us next week; same place; same channel...

in...

The surrogate zone.



Be good to everyone

I think your subconscience is telling you something. i realize it was a dream, but explain how do you get from point b back to a without a motor? Better get that tire fixed you don't want anything to happen.

I don't see the problem. Although for esthetic reasons, I'd want the fender and maybe the tire back. They could keep the motor. Vroom, vroom!
