Wow, he says,
as his car is
in for 61,000 miles
service, cost, $800.
A leaking radiator
and valve cover,
thermostat, turns
into an additional
$1,200. Service.
They did cover my
rental of 5 days.
Realistically, the
1997 Honda, has
few miles and is
25 years old, so
a cost of $45 per
year is not a bad
thing, in my opinion.

Can you miss something
more than you can say?
Do you need it now
or can you wait 'til the day
you can afford to pay cash
for and then drive it away?

"Christmas gift?" I asked.
"Yep," said the dad, as his son, Joel, 11, took the green kayak out on its maiden voyage on Lake Ballinger. I said, "He didn't want a video game for Christmas?"
The dad said, "No, he also wanted a tent. It's a bit cold to try that out today." 

As Joel paddled over 200 feet away from the dock, Dad said, "Joel, don't go too far!" Mom yelled, "Go out as far as you want, Joel! Don't worry about Dad."
