Good and bad.

First, the good!: I learned a bit more about cars today, and about the way mechanics' shops work. Also, I found a mechanic I like in town (as opposed to the family guy back home, who is lovely but is also two hours away.)

The bad: I had the opportunity to find the mechanic and learn about cars because my entire power steering system went out this week. Pump, pressure lines, rack--that stuff does not come cheap. Yuck.

At least A. is coming into town this weekend, and can probably be conned into driving me around (especially if a food bribe is involved). Mmm.
