Day in the Life of an Idiot

i wish i could loan you my mechanics. sure they may have terrible politics (or they may not--i have no idea), but they know me and they recognize me to the point where the owner saw me at a costco, so completely out of context, greeted me with a hug, and introduced his daughter to me. otoh, since i am now on the third car that i have been using them for, i may have put his daughter through college :) .
