...Continued from 6/26/2017:
...and the afterglow of "Hamilton," ...come Monday morning Tom and I had to absorb the news that our car, having suffered serious injuries from its attack by a free-wheeling psychotic tire (see post from 6/18/2017), would have to spend at least the next three weeks being put back together in a garage in Indiana (see post from 6/26/2017) and that we'd have to drive from Chicago home to Columbus in a rental car which we'd either have to continue renting or be a one-car couple for the next three weeks.* But, as we were alive, well, in a prosperous enough state, and looking forward to bringing home with us our daughter and two granddaughters, ...we figured we might as well stop and smell the flowers in the beautiful little urban garden in Claire and Miguel's backyard,
...and eating,
And so after saying good-bye to our children, who'd been our bunk mates at the Holiday Jones over the weekend (see post from 6/20/2017), sharing our final breakfast in the common room, ...with fellow hostelers visiting Chicago from around the world,
...to pick up our passengers, ...and have one more look at the pretty little garden. Then we said our good-byes,
...running into some magnificent thunderheads in Indiana, ...but, thankfully, no more crazy tires. *After Maria and the kids left Columbus to return home to L.A., the following day we opted for the latter, the necessity of shelling out a thousand bucks having gotten our mutual goat. We are now on day 3 of being a one-car couple. We are so far managing to survive this condition. "Equal And Opposite Reactions" is now available in Kindle Edition, and also at http://www.blackrosewriting.com/romance/equalandoppositereactions, amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and Gramercy Books in Bexley, Ohio
