Transportation Trouble

Wow, after our bus debacle last night, we barely made it home from church today (in the car) before the transmission on our car went completely kaput. We're going to have to hire a car to get Mom and Dad to the airport tomorrow and get the dealership to come and tow and fix the car. The good news is that, even though it's a used car, it's still under warranty. Whew! I wonder if we just have some bad transportation mojo? Do you think? Hopefully, we won't have to be without one for long. Thank goodness for warranties, school buses and online grocery shopping!

In other good news out of bad, I got in touch with the bus pass people and they were able to cancel the card I lost and transfer the balance to the new card they're sending me in the mail. I couldn't believe no money was lost on that one.

Maddie is at our neighborhood park with Nana and Papa John. She wanted them to stay another week, but understands that they need to get back.


Here's a link to an article that appeared in the London Times this Saturday. I think makes a commentary on two things: how easily we get go along with things politicians say because they give good sound bits and how difficult it is to BE a politician because someone is going to take issue with whatever it is you say. Palin Wrong to let Fly.
