I’ve often been teased as being easily amused, and it’s an accusation I cannot deny. It doesn’t take much to capture my attention, and some of the most unexpected things can hold it for a good length of time.
But the idea has stuck with me. Perpetual motion would solve so much. I built a V-8 engine model as a boy – one of those plastic things with a clear engine block and colored internal parts – and learned about how the battery powered the starter, and the alternator then kept the battery charged. Several years ago, I decided I “needed” to get a new car. There was nothing wrong with the car I had. It was a late model sedan with low miles. But I convinced myself I wanted something bigger and had my eye on a Honda Pilot. I went to the dealership one day and spent a couple of hours driving Pilots, and soon rolled home in brand new ride.
I spent several days getting my stuff out and found some things behind the second-row seats that I hadn’t seen in 36 months. I went by the dealership a time or two and talked to a salesman named David. I left with the intention of tracking him down when it was time to do business, and several days later, I phoned him to set up an appointment.
