The last few days have been of mixed pleasures. Catching the sunlight filtering through this dinner plate dahlia was a fine one. A car that wouldn’t start was not so good. The full story, one of mechanical mystery peppered with idiot operator, may well follow. In the meantime, I think we should dwell on the pretty dahlia.

Join the AA. Let them take care of things while you enjoy the finer things like pure gold. (P.S. I meant the vehicle variety of AA).
Or then again …. 😉
