Service Station


Took my car in for the regular 3000 mile service today.

My car isn't the one on the left, nor is it the one on the right. It's inside the building, behind the door with the red panels, so you can't see it.

It was very windy today, though the main storm has already gone through and is probably in the Sierras by now, dumping the longed-for snow up there for the skiers.

We had several brief power outages today because of the wind, which must have caused some damage to the power lines. Having to reset all those digital clocks (bedside tables, desk, ovens, etc.) can be a pain depending on their age. For the older ones, if you do it too swiftly and happen to zip past the correct time, you have to cycle through another twenty-four hours. The newer ones have up-down or left-right buttons to make life easier.
