One More Time

Bad news. The Camry bit the dust. Well, actually it's eaten the oil we put into it and burned up the engine (or something like that).

My plan? Sell it for parts on ebay.

Mr. Rellim's plan? Drive it to the farm one more time (although the mechanic cautioned him to have someone follow him on the 100-mile trip.), and park it in an old barn where someday he will have the to money to pay to have it restored.

Yeah! I remember an old white "hunting bus" that sat against that old barn for many, many years. I don't know if it finally rusted away or if someone actually towed it to a junkyard.

I likened Mr. Rellim's plan to that old man in Galesburg, Illinois who kept his deceased wife in his basement for about 18 years. Nothing good came from that (except the 18 years of welfare checks!) Anybody remember that?
