I decided Lucy was going to be different than my other cars. I was not going to haul trees or dogs in Lucy. If something messy needed to be transported i would schedule a rental car or put down painter’s plastic everywhere. It wasnt that she didnt have scratches or paint chips. She did. She’s …

Recent Events
I have a new car. The old one was totaled by a white tailed deer. It was an eye opening experience in which a lot of profound things happened. Maybe i will tell that story one day but for now its still unfolding and its not just my story to tell. But the gist of …
What is Navigating Car Trouble in this Day and Age
I will preface this topic by mentioning not everyone will have as bad an experience as i did and there are a few reasons for that. As a single woman whose parents are not together who lives in a town two cities away from where she works…none of these notions were an option for me …

The Last Storm Before the Carport
This post is a bit out of order. I had started it and then misplaced it and just found it so i guess i will finish it. There was a storm in between the twenty minutes of hail storm and the construction of the carport. My best friend/neighbor has a rather large carport that can …
Thud
I was outside breaking down the chicken tractor and bringing in the pullets and dogs for the night. I had just picked up the first chicken when i heard a thud and a silver sedan screeched to a halt on the road right in front of my property. It was up near the orchard and …

Mr. Silver Teeth, the old Friend I dont have.

Wrong Way Driver
Yesterday i was driving along the highway headed to meet some friends when the car in front of me suddenly veered sideways. I had a split second to think, “what’s gotten into him?” And then i saw why he’d done what he did. There was a pair of headlights staring straight at me. His car …
