A Sad Day for the Mayo
This was the best $400 I ever spent and even as shards of rusty metal were left in its wake as it transported Kitty and Hannah here and there for 2 plus years, it remained The Little Engine that Could. What heart!
But alas, one fateful day last week, The Mayo became ....prophetically, the mayo in a mayo sandwich. The "bread slices" drove away virtually unscathed, other than a bent license plate on the offending truck in the rear.
Enter Helen & Gary, super hero capes flapping in the wind! We'll have fotos of the replacement vehicle they so generously provided soon. Farewell, Mayo. You were one noble, if high-fat, feast.

It's sad to see the good ones go...
Our daughter Andrea's first car survived a run-in with a semi (with her younger brother on board(a truly scary morning for us)) only to succumb to a sandwich incident several years later (another scary moment in parenting). Before its demise, that little Civic went & went. All the high school miles and many trips between home & school in Milwaukee. It's probably been reincarnated as the front quarter-panel of a Hummer. What a shame...
i'll be there with film to watch the dismantling and moving of all that lovely metal. but more importantly, we'll take fotos of the seats.... which are adorned with the scrawled poetry of teenagers cruising down country roads past midnight high on the moon and all that is ahead of them..... and inside them. here's to immortality!
