The car is fixed. If I had a better income, I could have used all the money for the last fix as a down payment on a new one, but the truth is that landscapers don't get payed well. Bob was a good sport about helping me drop the car off and pick it up and getting me to work the next morning. When in Bellevue, he got excited about a bar he had gone to 20 years earlier, so we had to stop for a few and some pool. I don't know whether it was the lack of food in me or that maybe I had hit my limit, but the next day, yesterday, my stomach couldn't hold anything and I was at half energy. Stopping there wasn't such a good idea I guess, but he was so excited and single minded about getting there I didn't protest. He had some close games but didn't win.

While inside it really became apparent to me the contrast between how I have been living and what I saw. What an unhealthy environment in so many ways. I didn't feel well enough to run with the club this morning, and besides, I should be studying for the next test.
