Sheesh

As I mentioned Friday, before pulling out of Leasburg Dam State Park that morning I checked the oil then closed the hood. It didn't latch. Couldn't get it to latch. The cross bar in the hood that the latch grabs went missing.

Well, not really. I took a good look at it this morning and couldn't see where a cross bar would have been attached. It turns out nothing is missing - the latch is meant to grab the rolled edge of the hole in the hood liner. All it needed was some oil on the mechanism. Sheesh indeed!

Life is Strange

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusion most stale and unprofitable.

A Case of Identity, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
