A Word of Advice

If you ever happen to find yourself on a rutted, under-construction dirt road, in the middle of a rainstorm, with puddles the size of small lakes all around you, drive very, very slowly, or else, just turn around completely. The road will stare at you with challenge in its deceptively smooth looking curves. Ignore it. Otherwise, you might end up at the car doctor’s to fix the broken nose your car got in the fight with the road. Gypsy and I tried to take on just such a road on a rainy day, and she ended up with a bad bruise on her left headlight. We went for a quick trip to the doctor’s. But she’s all better now!
