1. It's a happy coincidence that in 1962, when Mom and Dad bought the house that Debbie and I live in now, eventually a tire shop, now Siver Valley Tire Center, either was in business in 1962 or would eventually go into business later and not only be located just down the street then, but still be in business many years later when Debbie and I moved to Kellogg in 2017.
What do I mean, a happy coincidence?
Well, take, for example, today.
Early in the week, I made an appointment to take both the Sube and the Camry into the shop so that the guys there could take the winter tires off and put the rest of year tires on.
Silver Valley Tire Center accommodates my wish to put the cars for both tires in the back of the Sube.
I loaded them and drove the Sube to the shop.
I walked home and drove the Camry to the shop.
A happy convenience born of a happy coincidence.
The guys at the shop took care of both cars, all eight tires.
I walked down to pay, drove home the Sube, loaded the winter tires in the garage, walked back to the shop, and drove home the Camry.
A happy convenience born of a happy coincidence.
I love how.both cars feel with the winter tires off and the other tires on and am grateful it'll be another, oh, eight months before the winter tires go back on.
When that time comes, getting in done will be convenient.
A happy coincidence.
2. Moving and loading tires and walking to and from the tire shop a few times constituted my exercise for the day and I actually felt like I'd been to the Fitness Center, especially after I napped in the afternoon and slept 8 1/2 hours Saturday night.
The cars' wheels and tires are balanced and so am I.
3. For the time being, I am listening to Sherlock Holmes' stories two ways. When I exercise, I listen to Stephen Fry read the stories and he is the sole and remarkable source of giving voice to the stories' variety of characters.
As I sleep at night, I've switched from listening to the calmest and coolest jazz playlists on Spotify or Pandora and I listen to BBC radio theater versions of Sherlock Holmes stories, complete with sound effects and different actors playing roles. Holmes is always played by Clive Merrison and Watson by Michael Williams. I never make it more than about three minutes before I fall deep asleep, leaving my sleeping consciousness to enjoy the stories while my waking self checks out.
