AND WHILE YOU'RE OUT........

      AND WHILE YOU'RE OUT....

    My wife decided to use the day for a
sewing project she's been wanting to finish
so I figured I'd hit the couch and fire up a
Netflix movie. Before I could scan the
choices I was reminded we both had
prescriptions to be picked up at our local
pharmacy.
     Then came those words! "And while
you're out maybe you'd like to wash the
car." That's marriage code for "Wash the
car!"
      No doubt is needed it! Our three-year-
old grandson was climbing on board Monday
when he declared "The car is very dirty!"
      The closest car wash is very close to the
Mohegan Sun Casino.  I find that very
appropriate since the timer at the car wash
seems to gobble up quarters as fast as any
slot machine you've ever seen!
       I believe the designers of car wash
machinery are skilled mathematicians who
have carefully calculated the amount of suds,
water, and time it takes to clean 3/4 of an
 average automobile. That's when the one
 minute warning usually sounds on the
 cleaning apparatus!
        Fortunately I had tucked away a few
extra quarters and had them in a pocket
close enough to reach before the water
stopped!
         So the car is clean, the prescriptions
were picked up and I expect my sneakers
will be dry in just a few hours!
          Hope I don't need any quarters for
parking meters and that all your NEWS
is good!
