The Joys of Aging

For the record: When the check engine light comes on, I take my car to a mechanic. For other warning lights, it depends. Low tire pressure I can fix myself. Same with shut rear door. Being neither a mechanic, nor a doctor, I don’t take chances. But I still found the meme funny.

The Donor

Political campaigns need money. Getting elected, at almost any level, requires people who believe in you enough to contribute to the campaign.

A Midweek Thought
