Loose in the World

   There was a time when I regularly visited the carwash, but Dave took over that chore so it's been years since I took it upon myself to get my car washed. Of course, even that mundane event is a different world.
    I remember inserting the money, and when the time was up, the water supply stopped. If you wanted more time, you put in more money. Simple as that.
   Today, I inserted my credit card, waited for approval, and began washing the car. I circled and circled the car so many times I was getting tired, and the car looked as clean as I could get it. So now, I decided, was a good time to read the instructions on the wall. The cost is $3.00 for 5 minutes, which seems pretty reasonable. But I gather if you use a credit card, it's up to you to press, "STOP," or else the cycle automatically renews. So I'm not sure how many cycles I used; I'll have to check the charge on my credit card.
    It's probably a good thing I was getting fatigued, and tired of walking around my car, bending down and washing the wheel wells.  How clean can a car get.
