I pick up my car this morning, for real. Junior (transmission guy) called me yesterday and gave me the green light to come and get her. And he said the starting problem is fixed! The wire going to the neutral safety switch on the transmission was burned. That could have happened when my car overheated earlier this summer or could just be from old age, who knows? I'm just looking forward to moving forward when I hit the gas.

It's a lot of money to get all this done but I'm planning on driving this beast for a few more years. I'll pick it up around 8am, drive it back to Hoboken and then go to work. That's a lot of traveling for me but it's better than having to leave work or paying for parking all day.

Finally all this talk of cars will be come to an end. Now I can talk about how much money I owe to Master Card, ha ha. I've been debt free my whole life; this will be a new experience for me. I'll owe money to the man just like the rest of the slobs in America.

I got a headache leaving work yesterday. It could have started when the subway came slamming into the station, squealing brakes and all. I don't get headaches, so this was pretty unusual. But within the confines of this, a moment of clarity: I should start painting again. Developing story.

Here's how my evening broke down yesterday: Diary, TV, video games and listening to the Reverened Horton Heat. I'm living the SWEET life. As a matter of fact, I'm listening to Reverened Horton Heat on the headphones as I write this and I was wondering why the quality of the recording was so muffled. Then I realized the headphones were above my ears. I'm going through some kind of weird vibe where things are not going my way. Such is life.

That's it! Have a great day.

I like James Iha's Let it Come Down solo CD. Very lovely.

Stay beautiful,

Bob
