i cAN GET A FEEL FOR WHAT IT IS LIKE TO STOP DRIVING....  GWEN TOOK MY CAR TO NH...and i need 3 boards to "finish" the arena wall ... from the lumber company around the corner.....  usually i would just get in my car .. pick up a dunkin donuts ( or sub for lunch) on the way,,,,  wedge the 3 boards in thru the front window and shove the 3 danes sideways for the short trip home... and be done.

here  i sit... sans car. minus the coffee and the boards with no relief in sight.... ?what me  pay $30 delvery fee????? not willinglily

i can remember....... back when "my car" was a 1982 ambulance and i was in burlington mass... with  my #1 stud dog "thumper" ... someone offered me 8 nice office chairs free.  if i could take them then... so ..... poor thumper..... had to get out while i put the 8 chairs stuffed in the back ( and one in. the front)   i opened the side door and told thump to get in... he looked at me  with a "what are you ... nuts?"  i repeated"get in" and he scratched and climbed his way to the top of. the teetering pile and just hung on  til we got home.  he was a very well trained dog.  (and father dog)

my car will not be back til sunday-- at which time i will investigate    the small print at the bottom of the passenger side mirror.. which apparently says "things are closer than they seem"  as i had a close call with the house while backing out.... just before i hit the white post ( oxycondin induced )

you think "  they "   don't really mean don't drive----oh i can do it "   and what you don't realize is the stuff makes you think you can do everything.. until  you find the house  and white pole got moved and   you hit them.

rule around here ... if i hit 3 things in one day i am to turn in my license to drive...

consequently when i hit two. i stop right there and... i walk home
