    Btw, in Logan we've found that indecisiveness and swing dancers are synonymous.

    No worries. Me too. Say hi to my boy Solomon while you all are there. I have attempted to go to this exchange for the last 3 exchanges (that includes this one) and no happiness for me =(.

    ah well his car has had the least drama!

    Eunice, my burgundy '93 Subaru legacy has been totaled out twice. My little brother got in a crash a couple of weeks ago, and I only got her back from the body shop to use on Monday.

    I then took Eunice to a mechanic to get a pre-trip checkup and was told that the timing belt was due to be changed. This is inside the engine and fairly work intensive. While in there, they found that a belt tensioner was leaking and needed to be replaced too. Several hundred dollars since the crash, I wonder if we shouldn't have just let her go (but don't tell her I said that).

    I didn't have anybody around to drop the car off or pick it up, so I walked over a mile home after dropping it off and had Buzz drive her home after the bonfire. This meant I didn't have a chance to pack her in advance, so I spent the morning finishing packing and we barely got on the road before noon (we includes Holly who rode out early as a surprise). Unfortunately we got turned around in Denver and what should have been an 8:30 arrival at the Merc became 9:15.

    Hopefully the exchange is better than the Merc, as I didn't get to dance with many locals.

    After the Merc, the drama continued as Zach's battery died, and we had to stick around to wait for a ride since Eunice was just too full of my junk to cram in two more people.

    Unfortunately, there was no feasible way for me to stay for the actual exchange and safely be in Austin for work Monday morning, and I continued my drive to Texas. The final bit of drama took place when the gasket at the top of Eunice's windshield flew off just outside of Abilene. I felt and heard it happen, but it took me several minutes of examination to figure out what happened.

    The Merc didn't seem that big on Thursday night and I didn't stick around for the exchange itself to get the full benefit. I did however dance with a couple Denver follows last night at the Fed in Austin. Funny how that works.
