I thought that sort of thing is not supposed to happen with Volvos? You never know with cars, though. We have a Jaguar, which had such a terrible reputation, and it's never given us a moment's concern. We've been looking at places we might want to live when we return to the US and Colorado has been on and off the list - I had just read the other day another transplantee's opinion that the food was not so hot, and your burger story would seem to support this. In-N-Out Burger was highly regarded when we lived in Los Angeles, but waiting in line for hours for a burger seems a bit above and beyond. Back to studying Providence, Rhode Island, which featured fried calamari in its appearance at the Democratic National Convention. As a vegetarian, I don't want to even contemplate the possibility the plants are hiding from us. (The calamari would be for the rest of the family.)
Oh no! That sounds time consuming and vastly inconvenient. We've recently made the mistake of buying a 'nearly new' Nissan Leaf ... imported from Japan. Not only am I having to learn to understand an EV, but the complexities of one that's had its operating systems "translated". I'm hoping it's not going to prove to be a big mistake. I hope your problem is quickly rectified.
Angus, I am bark-less with annoyance. Well almost. What kind of a useless artist is featured in your link today? How can any person conceive of a series of paintings of dogs and foxes and not include at least one that features a wire-haired fox terrier? Ridiculous!
Oh and Gail says she hopes you get the Volvo fixed quickly, and tells me to calm down and listen to the lovely cello and piano version of Hallelujah...
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
Thanks for the wallaby article. The last I heard the British populations had died out. Interesting to see new ones emerging. These are a Tasmanian species, so British weather is not a problem, btw. There is a small but thriving population of them in the Foret de Rambouillet too.
Thanks also for the fritillary camo article. Very interesting indeed.
What a pain.
Oh, no - Volvo has always had a such a good reputation for reliability. These days with all cars manufactured automatically, they can't even blame yours for being a "Friday afternoon" job!
To echo Gail and Bertie, the Hallelujah version is truly lovely; the humming noise in the Volvo, not so much.
