Oh yes, I almost forgot... today I became a Public Library User.

My car's really been acting up lately, and it has everything to do with this little sensor on the gearshift, that tells the ignition it's ok to start the car (it's an inhibitor switch). Basically, for whatever reason, the sensor isn't getting into the right position, so the car won't start.

So I wandered down to the library today, paid $12 for an annual membership, and picked up the Chilton guide so I can fix it. (Turns out it's a relatively easy fix, but it's on the underside of the car)

I have a few things to get used to (the odd mix of people milling around the library and the dewey decimal system -- always a shock after the great Library of Congress system used at most reputable universities), but they have some great benefits as well -- like an extrememly large collection of movies. That I can take out for free. For a week.
