Everything's "Relative."

   My Sister-In-Law has been our host during our
visit to the Sunshine State over the past week.
   She is a fantastic person!
   She makes a great breakfast! She is friends
with virtually every person we see! She knows
where all the area attractions are! She's good at
just about everything she does!
    Then.....there's her driving!
    She's not a bad driver. But she is, in most
cases, a lucky one!
    The other day we drove into Sarasota to
see a well know statue called "Unconditional
Surrender."  It's based on the photo that
appeared on the cover of Life Magazine when
World War Two came to an end. It shows a
Navy sailor kissing a nurse.
     We joined the ranks of thousands of other
tourists who have viewed and photographed
the statue then left for some additional
sightseeing.
     My sister-in-law choose the nearest Exit
Lane. Unfortunately it turned out to be an
Entrance Lane and we suddenly found more
people looking at us than at the statue!
     But she was lucky! Nobody clobbered
us!
     Yesterday our travels took us to an area
Car Wash. Truth be told it was the possibility
of buying gas 20 cents under everybody
else's price that brought us there. My sister-
in-law's car needed a cleaning!
     Here's the way it works......or is suppose
to work. If you agree to get a six dollar car
wash you can get your gasoline for the
discounted price.
     We filled the tank then drove over to the
car wash. A recorded voice told us to enter
a code the gas station had issued.
     She punched in the code then followed
the lighted sign which read "Drive Forward."
     When your car gets to the proper spot a
second light marked "Stop" is suppose to go
on so those high speed water jets can begin
taking the dirt and grime off you vehicle.
      But the "Stop" light didn't go on!
      So, after a minute and a half or so, my
sister-in-law drove through and back to the
entrance!The same "Drive Forward" light
greeted us again...so...we did. Nothing!
      My sister-in-law tried one more orbit
before driving back to the clerk at the
gas station/ store.
       He gave her a second code.
       She drove back to the car wash entrance
and punched in the new set of secret numbers.
       The "Drive Forward" light was illuminated.
       But I'm not sure if the new code triggered
the light or if it was still on from our previous
passes!
       Whichever, she drove forward, but the
"Stop" light and washing machinery failed to
come to life.
       After one more time around she decided
we weren't getting a car wash!
       But. like I said, she's lucky!
       She got her money back and got the gas
 for the discounted price!
       And......now it's suppose to rain!
       Hope your car is clean  you're in the right
lane and that all your NEWS is good!
