Well, I have my anatomy final tomorrow. The professor gave us a study guide, basically a three-page terms list. Hey, had I had those on my last two tests I would not have averaged a 64!

I studied for weeks for each of those...

So far I have one page of Things that I Already Know and then the guy asked if I could be up there within the hour. I had wanted to take the full study guide on the bus, with a two-hour commute, I really hoped to drive back. I did not see any reason to print what I had, so I just left, and since I always get lost in Phoenix, I drove seventy, instead of my usual fifty-five.

I got lost--a few times.

He was not there, his mother who only spoke Romanian let me look at the car, and then I needed to wait an hour for him to get off work so that I could test drive and take it to a mechanic, and that was at least another hour that I wished that I had something to study.

The $3,150 car required $4,300 in repairs, so I ended that experience as quickly as I could, and then spent at least an hour driving back.

I did pick up a 4x8 campaign sign that had come loose and was laying on the sidewalk. I almost hit another car because I could not see anything on the right, but fortunately, that driver did not want me to hit them, so we avoided that situation.

The next nearest car on Autotrader is a 1,998 Saturn SL2 for $3,150, with 101,000 miles.
There is a 2,003 PT Cruiser for $3,500 with 66,000 miles and a 1,990 Civic with 265,000 miles for $2,500.

So, grill block, ScanGauge, and wheel covers for my Forester?
