I have come to the conclusion that computer geeks such as Eddie and myself are not allowed to have vehicles.

Yesterday I left work in the afternoon, checking the level of the coolant before I left the store parking lot. Roughly 45 minutes later I was once again stuck on I95-S, overheated. It turns out that it was a false alarm, however, because I hadn’t screwed the radiator cap on tightly enough. Once the engine had cooled off and the coolant was refilled, everything was all hunky-dory for the rest of the night, until the drive home when the transmission decided to go and kick the bucket. We drove it to WalMart to drop Eddie off at work, I took Mom’s truck for the day, and Eddie and Mom drove it most of the way home from WalMart before it overheated once again and they left it at a local garage for a few hours. The two of us went back up to the garage before dinner to drive it back to Mom’s house, and it overheated and wouldn’t go any faster than about 30mph and is at this very moment sitting in the parking lot at the baseball field near my mother’s house because it just wouldn’t make it the entire 3 miles back to her house from the garage.

There goes our new apartment fund.
