Hurricane Dinner and Broken Vans

The hurricane dinner went off much better then I had anticipated—I have images I’ll post either today or tomorrow. Gabe brought over a great pot of gumbo—I don’t even like gumbo and I thought Gabe’s was better then most. We had the red beans and rice and a good dinner was had by all. I was challenged all through the night by heartburn, luckily I had antacids by the water.

I had to Make a market run sometime in the after noon to pick up medication for Dianne. The van began making a horrible noise and I sensed recurring “thud’. I thought at first this was a flat tire. When I checked tires when I got home the tires were all up. So, I don’t know what the problem is but I can bet you the price will be expensive. Dianne was to take the vehicle over to the mechanic Man this after noon but turned round ad went home after driving up to the end of the block. The plan now is to have the van towed into Mechanic Man—this will be the first time we have had the vehicle towed under our new insurance plan. I will be interested to see how well the insurance works. It’s just one thing, always one thing. If there CAN be something wrong with something that I own, there WILL be something wrong and it WILL be the MOST expensive thing that CAN be wrong And that is just the way it is. I gotta go. I think my heartburn is coming back.
I am happy to get to the eating
