R-E-L-I-E-F

THERE'S AN OLD commercial that used to show in the States where people were asked how they spell 'relief'. Their answer: R-O-L-A-I-D-S (a popular antacid). Well, today I spell relief: R-E-N-A-U-L-T!

That's right, we got our car back today (need a refresher on what happend?). Getting it back is nice, if only because I no longer have to wonder how much it's going to cost us: now I know. I won't print the grand total, just suffice it to say all 5 of us could have visited DC for less -- and had some spending money to spare.

But let's not think about now. Instead let's think about how long we get to drive our French-made car until something else blows up. (That wasn't exactly fair, I know. But I feel better after writing it).
