Some might call it, nickle & diming, but I like to think of it as safer & cooler driving...ed





Poem Artwork

If I was able to put together,

All the money that I’ve put into this car so far,

Before I bought it, I could have had a better car,

But I think now I have it all fixed right,

Better it is now for sure, by a damn sight…

 

New tires, brakes & now the “new” air-conditioner,

Would still like a radio with a CD player, but,

For now I surely can live with the AM-FM radio alone,

And of course while I drive I always carry my cell phone…

 

Actually glad it doesn’t have good paint,

For tired I have been getting of keeping cars clean,

This one only needs a quick spray off with water,

No automatic washing or scrubbing by me,

Just a quickie job to keep the windows clean,

Tis part of my newly air conditioned scene…

good one Ed, I don't do much scrubbing either, one of my cars that I drive the air doesn't work, I'm just glad the sucker is in other good mechanical condition. I could care less about the air, it's my drive to work car. But the misses big gas guzzling durango has got to have air and everything else working on it, so you see my sacrifice, cheers

"Just a quickie job, to keep her clean"

See how much we Ed brothers learned from dear old Ma; that's what she always said about us, too.

Why is it that when we get a car we can't let it alone but try to improve it, its performance, its comfort, its...we become like a nagging woman trying to improve their man, forgetting that the way he is is the way they felt for.
Honk away!

I think A/C I can't be without
Lest I smell of sauerkraut's
Perspiring droplets in my pits
We all know that that's the ****'s

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
