Theresa called me the other night and said that Terry was having a problem with one of his cars and he needed to look at automotive lifts so he could get his car up off the ground to work on it.  He has a great garage/shop, equipped with just about everything, except for a lift.  She said he was having some problems with the exhaust system.

She said that he has now gotten into motorcycle racing as well and was looking at motorcycle lifts so he could work on the bike more efficiently too.  I asked her where she was going to find the money for these things.  She said probably their income tax refund.   I am so glad that my husband prefers to watch the racing instead of participate in it.   I could not afford him then.

Then when I went to the Thornton’s this morning to buy gas I saw that the price has gone up over 20 cents a gallon. What caused this sudden jump? Why are we having to pay so much for gas again?

That in itself was perfectly OK, but I was going the 70 mph speed limit and the two cars passed me in a flash. They must have been going well over 100 mph and were obviously together or chasing each other. It all happened so fast I didn’t even notice their license plate numbers.
