The day is very young but still, filled with wonders of various sorts. When I took to car to the neighborhood place for servicing, Lynn had a TV in the cold office with a picture of a fire–it even crackles!??
While meanwhile on the home front, a huge crane arrived about 6:30 am–it appears that today is “heat pump day”. EEK. (A nice man directed me out of my driveway.) The bricks are going up on the west side with a plastic tarp covering the scaffold. A cold activity in this weather. Who knows what else the day will hold????
On The Way 
My neighborhood Subaru repair guy is also named Lynn. What an odd coincidence…unless, of course, your person is a female. Which–and I risk sounding sexist here–also seems odd. I might add that after 2 Volvos, a Subaru Outback offers true driving joy. By that I mean it always runs and seldom needs any but the most routine maintenance. I loved my Volvos, accepting their foibles as somehow part of the status of ownership, but God were they expensive to maintain!!
Hi Karen–it’s Tom & Lynn Bellinger who hold forth in an old 40’s service station at State and 14th. She’s painted the office black and it has “decor” including the “fire”. They call themselves a “Volvo repair”, but luckily they do Toyotas too–(a car which hardly ever needs a repair!!). Since our cars date from 1992 and 1994, we see Tom & Lynn regularly!
