Yep. It was already dark and after closing time. This is a small country dealer and they were locking up. The tech helping me was very apologetic.

I have always changed my own blades, but decided I didn't want to mess with it and it was raining. Those original blades lasted less than a year, just wanted to get some good blades on to drive out in the country. That didn't work.

Yep, especially if you never drive it. The Expedition is 16 years old and wipers are still great.

I have never won anything from the lottery. I wonder if having never bought a ticket has anything to do with it?

While they changed the oil last night, I walked around a King Ranch in the show room. Beautiful truck. I felt a fever coming on till I looked at the sticker. Next thing I knew, I woke up on the floor. $59,900.

Same way I look at it. I use to buy tickets all the time and now very seldom. Saved a lot more then I probably would have won.
