Sheila’s New Ride

OK, yeah, so we were on our way to get flu shots. (I started gettin’ ’em when I started teaching. One year, the shot made me a lil’ loopy, and I spent the rest of the afternoon in sort of a ... well, basically, a slow-motion daze — and I have been hoping for the same kind of reaction ever since!)

: )

Anyhoo, Sheila bought a PT Cruiser. Convertible. Baby, she’s a sweet ride.

Lea took this picture. (She rode shotgun; they stuck me in the back seat.) Cruisin’ up Main Street a few minutes later, we heard one of my favorite KISS songs, “Detroit Rock City.” Sheila nearly rear-ended a car that stopped short in front of us, right in front of Dairy Queen. We drove out to the dealership, stopped to chat with her car salesman, offered him a ride — and he seemed up for it, ’til we told him we were going to get flu shots — then headed over to the clinic.

Sheila flashed us just after turning left off Bailey Lane, but I missed it.
