alumni

i made a mad dash to lincoln to alumni weekend the sabbath. it wasn't our class, but it was probably the last time it would be easy for both donna and i to get together. she drove down from michigan. she is still slim and energenic, i am still a slow mover and have gotten fat... no nice way to say that. we are standing by our favorite pictures in the little art gallery. mcclellen is the artist. he teaches at union. it is hard to believe but all the paintings are watercolors. some are transparent watercolors, but most use opaque water colors.

my jeep gave me a scare on the way in. trying to decide if it is a sign or something. as i got to lincoln i slowed down and my dash went crazy. the engine light and air bag light came on, the odometer disappeared, the other dash gages quit working. ie the ones that had lights. the oil gage and temp gage still worked. scared me... slowed way way down. turned on the right hand turn signal....don't know why i thought that would work when all the other lights went off. well i turned the headlights off when i turned the radio and heater off. anyway when i turned on the turn signal, all the dash lights came back on.

the classic dilema. fix or trade.
