2965

I had an intense series of dreams last night. In the first part, I was meeting with some shady characters. I was new to the town and was in a rough neighborhood. I felt really out of place and was fearful about engaging anyone--I felt like they would rob me at the slightest provocation. I spoke with one guy for a while. He was asking about my truck and trailer that I had arrived in. I pointed out to him that everything I owned was locked in those two vehicles, but that nothing I had was worth anything.

The dream shifted to an intricate rooming house. The unit that I was about to rent was a set of vertical floors. On each floor there were several rooms and each of the rooms had multiple doors that led to various other areas. I attempted to check out all the levels and lock all of the doors, but no matter how  carefully I went about this task there always seemed to be doors that allowed others to enter my areas. The dream was frustrating and anxiety-making. As the dream ended, I was left feeling like no matter what I did the space was not safe from intruders.

When I went out this morning (afternoon?) for my Frappaccino, my truck stalled as I tried to start it. It also chugged and did not idle smoothly, and emitted a cloud of smoke. The starter also seemed to not engage properly. Despite all of these actions, I managed to get the vehicle rolling and the engine seemed to smooth out as I drove. After getting a Frap, I took the vehicle to the Firestone store. It made the trip without incident and did not exhibit the problems for the service attendant. He suggested that I continue to drive it over the weekend and bring it by Monday if it repeats any of the symptoms. Is a mystery!

I'll be taking my daughter's mate to work in a bit and will see how it behaves on that expedition.

My truck is gold and is getting old! Have to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em!
Know when to walk away--know when to run!
