Caribbean roads strike again! A few weeks ago we had to put the spare tire on the car because the front left tire (not the driver's side - we drive on the left here) started to peel apart when I was on the way to Sunshine Shoppers. Sunshine's is the equivalent to a mom and pop store. Anyway, the spare started to look a little low so Brian went out to fill it before we took off to Gingerland for the day. I've been wanting to go over to that side of the island to do a little more exploring before we had to leave the island. Well, the valve stem on the spare is busted. So off to Tire World for a new tire. Luckily our neighbor Pat was home, so Brian could take her car down to get the old tire replaced. Monday I will go down to have the valve stem on the spare fixed. What really stinks is that Brian's parents are shipping down two new tires on the container ship that comes every semester. So, today has turned into car tune-up day so I have a functioning car for the remaining two weeks we are here.
Mental Floss
It's the small, small problems that keep me so upset and send me seeking shelter beneath my mosquito net. I stay there for hours protected from the night. All those insects and vipers and other things that bite. In one ear and out the other don't you get criss-crossed. I recommend you try a little mental floss -- J. Buffett
