Time heels

Well, Time often does heal.  The incident with the car is far less serious (for the car that is)  the scrapes on the car second door back (passenger side) from the pack on the mans back just rubbed right off and there were no dents.   I told H he had to find the guy and and say he was sorry.  So far we haven't seen he or his company in the neighborhood.

The "car for me thingy" is exhausted.  We are allowed to have silly thoughts now and then.  
Too expensive, too selfish, and too impractical.

Now there is a serious effort to recall the Mayor of Lake Wales and we will be in Alaska while the petitions are going about.
The Mayor is a resident of Lake Ashton and he fired the city manager who was very well thought of.  I wish I could be here to help with the recall.  H and I will find a petition to sign though.

Seventy four years

Yesterday was my seventy fourth birthday.  
Every youngster made contact.
H and I had lunch in Lakeland at Macaroni Grill.
While driving homeward here in the sub a lawn tech using one of those big blowers backed into our moving car.  We were nearly past him but he had his back to the road and was looking at the lawn.  about midway down the passenger side of the car his back pack scratched along .  He was fine but H jumped out of the car and started yelling at him and showed him where the long scratch on the car was.  H returned to the car all agitated and the guy gave him a business card.  I said, "gee whiz Harry -why don't you ask him if he is alright".  I think H did then but he was still furious.   The rage rises up and I am always surprised.
Anywho H is trying to contact the company today.
Somehow the birthday was a huge disappointment to me.  I know secretly I was just sure that a new little car was going to be in the garage waiting for me. How impractical!!! How frivolous!!!  We don't need two cars.  My mobility is limited and so I hang close to home anyway. 
I keep chastising myself for having such a thought.  But a little voice says that I would be more apt to shop and look about if I did have a car.  --
Little voice makes no sense cuz I can use the Enclave anytime I like.
Is it because I have to ask or announce-and every thing is treated "subject to H's approval"????
Thinking too much is much of the problem here.
