I diverted a few dollars from my Mac Mini fund to buy a third vehicle. I wanted something that gets better mileage than my 4.3l truck that I can drive around for errands.

The target: 1989 Ford Escort LX 5 door w/ 5 speed manual tranny. 138,000 miles, one owner, rustbucket, damaged rear passenger fender & bumper (it had a tussle with a 1971 Nova, Nova 1 - Escort 0 ) and some general maint.

Don't you hate it when you have a nose hair tickling the inside of your nostril, so you reach in there and pull it out, but it hurts real bad and makes your eyes water and then you figure out that you pulled the wrong nose hair and you have to go back in there again?

Well, my toe is pretty much healed.

About the time of my last post, I was told that it was a bad break. I mean, it was almost snapped clean off. X-rays were taken, and the Doc had another look at it. He said that everything was healing nicely, everything (ever-thang, as he says) was in place. I looked at the film, and was sure that it looked worse than it did the first time I had x-rays taken. He assured me that it takes 6-8 weeks to heal a broken bone. I said, "...but I'm supposed to heal fast, Doc, that's my thing." He looked up at me as if trying to figure out if I was still sneaking a Vicodin here or there, and said, "You broke your toe... and your over thirty..." He just left that last sentence hanging there...
