We just arrived at our stop for the night. Didn’t quite make it from Mechanicsville, VA to Bristol, VA to Cincinnati, OH. We are staying at a hotel in Lexington, KY. We’re tired.

Precisely at midnight, we heard a very strange, loud noise coming from the back of our van. We could NOT figure it out. AND, it was starting to smell hot… so we stopped. All the kids woke up… grrr…

I got out and figured out it was the rear wiper motor that had been stuck for weeks, finally kicked on and was overheating! We almost had a fire in our van. Nice.

All is well. We’re here.

And I learned today that “You haven’t lived until you’ve sampled a landfill.”

Thanks, Heent. :-)
