Where Does Your Garden Grow?

I finally got that underwashing done today. The guys at the carwash had never seen anything like the underside of my car. The manager got four people working on it, one for every corner. Friendly bunch. They said I had been carrying enough dirt around to grow water lilies and swamp cabbage (kangkong po sa tagalog). I took a peek in the wheel recess when the work was done and I said...aaah, so that is what it's supposed to look like! Silly me, I always thought the underside of the car was supposed to look like blasted-on cement. Never would have realized it was petrified mud without the valuable assistance of the Kojak of car care (mabuhay po kayo). I also had the engine washed, and now it's so clean I can probably fry an egg over the engine block (not that I would ever want to).

Toodles, I am off to the beach till Tuesday the 10th.
