clipped wings

My car
has been at the mechanic for the last week, and before that it's been out of action for the better part of a month, and before that it had been unreliable for quite some time. I really miss it! Now I know that you don't generally need a car when living in a city, and I have been able to manage fairly well without it. But I miss being able to drive. I miss it to the point of being whiney about it in general conversation, and even to the point of writing a whiney blog post after I'd determined not to be too whiney anymore. Dang it, I just want to go driving somewhere.
