The fuel pump has arrived and they are putting it in as I type!! She should be here sometime this evening!! Thanks for the mojo!!

Ah, Sins, thanks, but it's not every time, at least not with most things.:-) I have to tell myself to have patience and to know that there's some kind of protection going on which may have kept her from something worse. As it is, we are fortunate she is a good driver. It quit while she was going 60mph on a two lane highway notorious for fatal accidents. She lost all steering, brakes, the works and managed to bring it to a stop without losing control, for which I am very grateful.

Garg, I know I was depressed, but I don't think any of this has to do with bad karma...I think it's just a balancing; if I didn't have a bit of a sticky wicket now and then, I wouldn't know how good it is. No, I haven't planted that garden, yet, there's too much of a drought on, some cities in CO have banned all new landscaping, and in this yard we are starting from scratch. We've been concentrating on doing things to the inside, this year. I did have roses, though and they are beautiful. Colorado has been good to us, very good. And, even old Wyoming had its good points, esp. its natural beauty.

Clinton, was that 'cause you've never rented from them or your sh** doesn't stink?!*bseg*
