I'm preparing to puke if I see one more blatant example of electioneering.
I'm watching the coverage of "The Belmont Stakes" and trying to guess who is most likely to fail a random drug test: the horses, the jockeys, the crowd or the New York Yankees. |

In any case. It's about 2 hours that I want to tell my story, but there is always something intelligent and profound by you people of the night that does not let me do what I wanted to do.
Yesterday I got an appointment with my mechanic Lorenzo: I will bring him my car Tuesday evening or Wednesday early in the morning for a general check up before going to the sea with Wife, Little Daughter, Adult Daughter and Grand Child. Particular notes: Fluid for AC (it does not cool very much), semi axis noisy when turning very tight and accelerating. My Sharan 2000 has 140,000 km and I would like her to last an other 3 years (about up to 200,000) when I will retire and get an other Sharan if they still do them. I'll take her Tuesday night. She does not mind sleeping out. She was noisy turning since when I bought her. She had 60,000 then. Lorenzo said that like that was OK and not to bother. But now it seems a little more. Lorenzo said we'll check it. I always bought my cars from him. Only 2nd hand. I never had a new car in my life. And he takes care of them. It is a good arrangement. He gives me good cars and good service and I give him good money and faithfulness. Simple and effective. Living in a small place has its advantages. |

A good mechanic is a rare and wonderful thing.
You are a lucky man, Beppe. And a charming storyteller. |

One of the reasons I don't want a car is car mechanics. They are all male chauvinist pig thieves. Well, except for Lorenzo of course.
The other reason I don't want a car is because I hate driving. ![]() |

Just settled down on my sofa with a glass of Porto and a DVD on my MacBook. About to watch episode 5 of The Origins of Christianity. Will the world end? Who will take control of the new-founded Church? The suspense is unbearable.
Episode 5 is about Paul. See you later ![]() |

And you love children like me. That's plenty enough. how are the cardinals? they are doing their own things now eh? But when it will be cold they will come back and find good things to pass the winter. My birds snob me now. I ear them singing before going to bed. |
