I’ve been trying to take care of it, but alas, those polymers break down over time. It was easier on the car when it lived in Jacksonville–it didn’t have to contend with the wider temperature fluctuations that we get in Knoxville. (I’ve discovered in the last month that it’s particularly tough to change gears when it’s cold, despite having had the transmission replaced two years ago. Blimey.) And I’ve discovered that the difference between a “classic” car and a clunker is the relative ease of locating and procuring replacement parts.

Re: summer of fun–in all honesty, I didn’t report all that I remember about it, but we had some particularly epic episodes. Pool time, sunbathing time, Kallay and Oliver’s particular brand of coaching and counseling (for me) during off hours, weekly yoga classes followed by family-style dinners, plus the little things that just made it fun to hang out…

I’d just add. If you can make eye contact … hold his gaze for half a second, smile and look at the floor/other direction. Then wait about eight bits and look back.

And hearing from someone that knew her in real life makes me feel just that much closer to her! The Summer of Fun sounds pretty awesome. I love when you can’t remember much more than laughing all the freakin time… that’s the best.

As for LBC, I will send good thoughts your way. I’d always wondered when they offered the warranty for a car at “5 year or 50k miles, whichever comes first” – who ever meets the year requirement before the mileage?? Well, now I know! I just hadn’t thought about the sweet little grandmas that live 1/2 mile from the church and 1/4 mile from the store. :) Totally makes sense.

Hope you’re having fun, Kallay!

I once rode in a car that didn’t cool. No air conditioning and seemingly no fan, engine fan that is. It was July and we were driving with a car load of stuff to Atlanta. A mere 13 hour trip. How did the engine not overheat? We blasted the heater so the heat would be pulled off the engine. Yep. That was one hot trip. It singed our feet a bit.
