car wash, yeah

[fflo]

Took the car through a car wash this evening. Wished it could be some baptism of renewal, but it did at least wash dusty dirt off the car. And sometimes it's fun just to go through those things. Maybe not as fun as when you use it as an opportunity to make out, when there's somebody you make out with in the car, too, but still fun. An odd little treat. Couldn't do it when the headlight was busted up.

The payment I just made means the car's now 1/3 mine. I somehow managed to get a 7-year loan on a used car. 7 freakin' years. I should live so long. And if I do, will the car have done so as well? That'd be nice.

Of all the stuff I was pondering writing about here this weekend, this is what I come up with.

I do want a baptism. None seems available to me. Maybe cuz I also don't want any kind of baptism I know about.

The temporary population of this berg is returning; my university town begins its annual swelling. I admit a certain curmudgeonly regard for these beings whose business here is essential for much of what I like about living here. Does that make them a cross to bear? Theologians, ring in.

Does that make them a cross to bear?

I don't know, but if you are curmudgeonly enough, you could be a bear to cross.

Ha. I'd like to say I'm working on that, but I don't think it's true.

They're fun to watch, but can often times dart out into traffic without warning. i guess they're alot like squirrels.

dude... they're totally like squirrels. one could carry that comparison pretty far if one had a mind to.

yup, like squirrels. i was at Packard and Thompson yesterday, and the light had just turned green for cars to go - 2 `squirrels' darted right in front of
me. yikes. Green means go for cars, not pedestrians.
Almost gave me a heart attack.

the literal squirrels are arguably better at 4-way stops, too. and they almost never do stuff like accidentally lose control of a keg as they're crossing the road with it.

HA!
and love all the `tables' in front lawns, and cups all over the place.

did you notice the carwash on Stimpson by the SA and CVS is closed!?!

[fflo.livejournal.com]

no, i didn't! that's a surprise.

the automated one at the gas station at washtenaw & carpenter isn't open, as that gas station is closed at the moment. a shell, i think it is. i ended up at the BP by the arby's.
