I almost got hit by a deer today. It was running right down 700 east right in the middle of the road at rush hour. I was stopped at the light and two deer came running straight towards my car. One almost hit me then weaved past my car and on down the road. It was a great start to the day.

All last week my car sounded like a colony of crickets had moved into the engine block but yesterday the noise went away. I think it’s because I finally scheduled an appointment with a mechanic. It seems that cars are always afraid of mechanic shops kind of like people and doctor’s offices. They just get stage fright.

I have decided that cars are allergic to Utah. In the last year I have brought three different cars to the Utah valley and every time after a few weeks of being here in P-Town, the cars have just started sounding terrible. I had my parent’s van for a while and it was making a horrible noise but as soon as it got back to California, it began to run perfectly. I have some of the same problem myself but I’m working on overcoming that.
