Posting has been light as of late. Tis the season to run around like a maniac trying to take care of loose ends. Besides, my company's Christmas party, Meghann's Christmas party and all of the other normal holiday stuff, we've had a second fender bender, a broken down car that is going to need its engine rebuilt, and as I write this right now Meghann is taking the GRE.
The engine rebuild turned out to be quite the fiasco. Let's just say that when the tow truck guy recommends his buddy, you are probably better off taking it to where you'd originally planned. I knew we were in trouble when I heard, "What I need you to do is to go down to the Fast Cash place on Martin Street. Look for a man named Don Beasley. He's also a bails bondsman. get a 2400 dollar cash advance on your credit card. They'll charge you some fees but I'll pay you back." I am not to keen on paying cash in advance for auto repairs so I politely declined. The mechanic was a nice enough guy, it just not a way of doing business that I am accustomed to.
