Good morning crew,

I don't know if this is good luck of bad luck. Earlier this year I took the truck in to the shop and ended up having almost $2,000's worth of work done on it.

I just paid that repair off. I mean, the last check is still in the mail. And the other day I came out to the garage to find a big puddle of antifreeze on the concrete under the truck.

So am I unlucky in that vehicle repairs are keeping me constantly in debt, or am I lucky that the repairs aren't coming so fast that the bills are piling on top of each other?

Or is it some kind of conspiracy by the repair shop? You know, it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

Laugh it up,

Joe

To our shock and horror, my sister-in-law and I realized we had each been married nearly 30 years. "That's a long time," I observed.

"A long, long time," she agreed. Then she smiled. "Something just occurred to me."

"What's that?"

"If I had killed your brother the first time I felt like it, I'd be out of jail by now."
