I can think of a lot of things better than a visit to a car dealership as a way to have a "fun" start to your week! I think the employees have to pass a "serpent" test to be allowed to work there. My BMW is covered by the bumper to bumper service & full warrantee but the service manager spent fifteen minutes of my time telling me I needed to get new tires very soon.... from them of course... and that I would need a four corner alignment (not covered by the warrantee of course)... total cost about three grand. He just didn't seem to understand when I repeatedly told him I have a favorite brand of tires (Michelin) and a favorite dealer whom I trust and never had anything but straight-up honest dealings with. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! I've already got about twenty thousand on the car but the tires are fine.... just like you'd expect them to be at that mileage. Car dealers! It's no wonder people distrust them..............

Coming home I almost hit a horse running loose on the highway. I'll tell you, that's a great way to get your heart started. Things are always fun in the boonies. I called 911 but I'm not sure they knew what a horse was but they didn't really seem to care too much about one being loose and in traffic. They were more hung up over the gender of the horse which I couldn't tell them because I didn't get a look at that end and it wasn't wearing either pants or skirt. They were lucky I could tell them it was a palamino which I knew from the old Roy Rogers tv shows. They also wanted to know how much it weighed and I again had to profess I was a moron because I just hadn't thought ahead and brought my portable horse scales with me. I swear! The lunatics have taken over the farm! Could we please get whomever is driving this planet to pull it over to the curb so I can get off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
