Thinkin' of Jeffro... and big truckin'...

I had dropped my Caravan off for services and maintenance, anything to help stimulate the economy and deplete my financial reserves, and was walking to the doctor's for my appointment. It took two hours and I made it only four minutes late. But while I was walking I saw another of these trucks go by and thought again like I had the last time I had seen one, with its lead and trail vehicles with the warning lights and signs. Now this isn't a wide load as it is longer and kind of strange. One propeller from a wind turbine, just one, at ground level not far off on that hillside like we normally seem them in threes. There was another truck with another propeller and warning vehicles following. Don't know if they make them locally or it is just where they get dropped off for truck pickup. Still, it is nice to know that the Economy is still moving stuff, besides mouths in Washington, DC.

Doctor visit was unremarkable, except he wouldn't cut my arm in the office and I have another surgery scheduled in May, my last but we won't tell him that. They tried to get it on my wife's birthday, but I told them no, not on that day. Now I have agreed to all the risks of the treatment they can proceed. Walk back stopping at Wendy's for a salad and a coffee, two hours later I am done with agreeing to the mechanic's recommendations and superior knowledge and skill. Don't you know that will cost me. Is the next Federal Program going to be universal mechanical insurance?
South Tacoma is a long stretch of automobile dealers and used car lots, and I wondered, in the horse and buggy days, there were probably a lot of horses around, lots of horses. And dealers....
