With the best
of intentions firmly in mind, I only hit the “snooze” button twice this morning
between 0615 and 0623. Today the
Pathfinder is to be delivered for a search and removal procedure. The hoped-for “magical mystery cleansing” did
not occur during the still, dark hours.
We clambered
into both vehicles and took the back roads up to highway 11E. The Pathfinder is now in the care of Auto
Solutions. We hope it can be retrieved
today. We also requested that the shop tighten an
electrical connection that continues to cause the left speaker channels to drop
out of service.
Since we were
out and moving well, we decided to pick up some foods only available locally at
the Mennonite store on highway 107. We
found most of the items we wanted and headed for the checkout lane. Some sort of power outage had rendered the
credit/debit card readers inoperable. We
had a large bag of groceries with no way to pay for them. Neither of us carries much cash now, and we
rarely have a checkbook with us. We had
just enough cash to pay for Gloria’s milk and some cheese that we had sliced
for us. Everything else was left at the
checker’s station to be restocked.
The store has
no backup procedure for days when the card scanners are non-functional.
We are tied
down now, awaiting the notice to retrieve the Nissan. I am not a patient person, do not wait
well. I left the Mennonite store feeling
annoyed and disgruntled. However, if I
stop and consider, I must admit that my day has, and will, turn out better than
will that of whatever beast now decomposes somewhere within my Pathfinder.
