Moldy Van

Our old green van has a problem with the evaporator in the A/C system. I think the drain for the pan is clogged. Everytime you turn a left corner water spills, no make that pours, out of the foot vent above the gas pedal. It's really bad if you are on a straightaway for awhile and then turn. Quite a bit of condensate builds up and whoosh! You have a mini waterfall in the car.

While the family was away, I left the van in the DARK caverns of our garage. Guess what happened in the three weeks they were gone?

I opened the door and spores galore, baby!

FUCK! (For those new to me, that is my favorite word.)

Now, I have to clean the mold out as best I can. I get some of that bleach spray we use to clean the kitchen and bathrooms with, and start cleaning the best I can. Next I bring in the Lysol spray, and to top it off....Fabreeze.


I take it to the airport, leave a few windows cracked, and catch a flight to New England, come back four days later, and have a whole new crop of fungus growing.

Mama and kids are NOT happy about hopping into the moldy van, neither am I for that matter.

So, needless to say in the past few days we have been buying a new van for them to ride the town in.

Moldy van is going to my Sister-In-Law.

JACK

One of my favorite radio stations changed their format recently. It used to be mostly 80's music, I'll be real honest though, whomever the program director was, kind of missed the boat. Instead of playing the good music, he'd schedule Billy Joel, Mike and the Mechanics, Fleetwood Mac, and Huey Lewis and the News. Not that these aren't good artists, it's just those are bands that need airplay on the soft rock station.

I'm probably not explaining it very well, but believe me it was definately marketed wrong. If you are going to call something 'Gen-X' radio, at least have something a Gen-Xer would like. The same songs over and over again suck. I mean I can only listen to 'New Year's Day' byU2, and 'People are People' by Depeche Mode so many times.

Now come the change, Jack it's called. You may have heard of this format. No DJ, all computer selected music. They throw in a mixture of just about everything, and it seems like a good format. I like it, and I imagine that's the reason 'Jack' has been getting spread around the country like wildfire. It's cheaper, because of the lack of air talent, and it's good music.

My ramble is done, you may go on with your life now.
