women of the world arisen, .

First year here, our kid left, we were delivering newspapers and living on my 'pension",my sister had to bail us out on our mortgage, all this was because of me and them sticking around as I wallowed, my job was now to get us as unwallowed as I could, as fast as I could, no one gets hurt, don't steal anything.            We had been getting beaten about the ass and shoulders by automotive shit karma.

                                  WE got a 2000 Buick Le Sabre with almost 200 thousand miles on it. 

Because I let the maintenance go too long...

Our trusted and unpampered fucking Subaru had broke its timing belt,(truly my fault) and we really needed a ride for Jess.

 I got the Buick cheap and it ran and looked good. 

Jess never dug it.

 So it blew its head gasket and so now it will be crushed for being an asshole.

Jess now has a sharp little Subaru Imprezza Outback Sport.

Drives like an old Triumph or MG sports car with all-wheel drive.......

What about my being unfocused and forgetful? Doing the "almost" again.....changed into"not this time"

I have been forgiven.

       Me, I am happy in a vehicle that runs and has a driver's seat. 

I drove a 1995 GMC Sonoma pick-up I got for a hundred bucks. 

I then dropped another few hundred on brakes, a windshield, tires, and vrooom vrooom goes the truck and I'm on the way, The truck has been loyal since. 

Well, wait...It lost its reverse gear, no backing up so awareness in a parking situation has to leave me aimed out.

Then,my sister gave me a 2001 Subaru LL Bean model goddammit and it is about as cool a car as I ever had 

AN angry wife (not mine) tuned the body and windshield on my truck up with a Louisville slugger to prove something to her husband and maybe feel better. I don't have any info on how that worked for her. She did manage to get my friend 19 months in the pen for whacking her after she whacked his truck but that's a love story I don't know well enough to speak on. 

Mike Luttig would have said,"

"Do you like to hit women?"

" Here's a good place for you to live, no women to hit. "

"When you don't want to anymore, you get out."

 "If that's all you did."

I am fortunate in many areas. A major force in my continuing fortune is that most of the dumbest shit I did,(that I will cop to anyway) I tried to pull in Massachusetts in the late 60s and mid-70s, I am of Irish descent, making me a white young Irish stiff dick idiot among many many others, I was unremarkable in every respect, a chameleon in a missle suit.

Mike Luttig started Law School just as I landed in a big pile of shit and had to run away again, good thing too, that time.

I don't rat, I don't give up, but I will take off and regroup, use my head..... and the goal, the prize, is who the fuck knows

not me

I'm still day to day, like a good little buddhist
