It goes with this month’s phrase, the 30th anniversary of Star Wars hitting the theaters. There’s no third color sadly. More about this later in the month. Trust me, it’ll be positive because back then, the first movie really did have an uplifting effect on so many things.
Meanwhile, I’m out sick thanks to all the rain happening in Central Texas. My favorite symptoms: sore throat (occupational hazard), sinus pain (right behind the eyes) and achy joints. I know, boo hoo for me. Probably some stress from the latest bout of car troubles, Somara’s truck now, and it won’t be cheap: water pump, coolant and maybe a cracked radiator. I finally did cheer myself up with some good news. After finally correcting all transactions involving my car from late 1996 to 2001, I got a pretty accurate tally of how much I’ve spent keeping my VW running since it was paid off. Drum roll…despite some really painful repair bills, it costs an average of $868/year to fix. Certainly cheaper than $3780/year when it was new.
