Look What I Did...

...to my poor front bumper. I don't even have a good story to go with it. I'm going to say street racing. Because it sounds so much better than a slight misjudgement of distance.

All By Myself

Can you believe that it is September already? I can't, summer went too fast. But I love fall so I can deal.

I don't know about you but I still have those "I did it all by myself" moments. I had one such moment just the other day. I got gas (for my car) all by myself. This may sound easy to most and really it is, but if you think about it, its harder than it sounds. For me to get gas it is near impossible. First I would have to get out of the car, which would also involve getting my wheelchair out. Then I would have to get close enough to the pump to push the buttons, and most gas pumps are up on a concrete slab and a mile in the air. I don't do concrete slabs. Or most slabs for that matter unless it is in reference to food. I would then have to get back down to the car to do the actual pumping. In the past I have taken someone with me and made them do it. But no longer; I have solved the problem. I went to a full service station!! Ta Da! I even used my professional voice so I sounded like I have been doing this for years. " Fill it up please" I have places to go.
