Closure

Some have inquired whether there is yet an ending to my late automotive saga. There is: I picked up my car at the dealer on Friday after work. I drove it to a party my friends Amy and Eric hosted at their new home (very nice) that night, to Maple Grove for dinner and games with friends on Saturday, and to Mankato on Sunday (where I—or rather, Darren—found the copy of Invader Zim for which I’ve been looking). I missed my car, but now I have it back, it works, and I can write about something else.

Title, About the

Many years ago at a friend's high school graduation, I spent an hour at a table with my brother and our band director. We were strange people. I ate one mint for half an hour, our band director made faces in his salad dressing, and my brother melted things in the decorative candle.

One of the things my brother melted was a plastic fork. He carefully heated it only just enough that the tips of the tines curled neatly into little coils. We examined it and decided that surely it was no longer good for stabbing people...or food. Thus was born the original safety fork: harmless, but useless.
