Every year when summer rolls around, we always are sure to use the air-conditioner in our car. One of the problems that we had encountered was that our car is a diesel. This makes it difficult to find readily available parts sometimes. We were fortunate to find a solution to that problem.

After searching around for a long time, we were able to find the diesel fuel pump we needed. It was on a website called dieselpartspros.com. They had a wide selection of parts and had just the one we needed. I was glad to have a warranty as well. I knew I had found a winning company when I called them on the phone. They were courteous and very knowledgeable. I am always glad to report on good companies!

With only about nine flights scheduled before the space shuttles are retired, there is still some work to do. The shuttle Endeavour is being prepared for a rescue mission. Concerns that the shuttle Atlantis may find trouble has led NASA to prepare for an emergency rescue mission if needed. I’m sure we all remember what happened to the shuttle Columbia which ended the lives of seven astronauts.

I hope the mission is not needed, but I’m glad we are prepared just in case. I believe the space program is important and will lead to new discoveries on earth as well as in space. Good luck to crews of these missions!

Heaven does not have red lights! I made a trip today to run an errand. It should have been a short trip, but it took much longer than I expected. I needed to go up Princess Ann. road. It has an unusual amount of lights. I must admit that I was getting frustrated as every light was red!

It does not make any sense to me. We stopped at a red light and went when it turned green. I could see the green light in the distance, but when we arrived there, it was red!

It was so maddening… I wonder who programs these lights. They really need to find a way to fix this problem!!

I drove my daughter up to the school on Friday to see the big game at the stadium. GO RAIDER’S!! As we were leaving the parking lot, the police had traffic cones out and were directing traffic. When I got to the front of the line the officer directed me to the right. I rolled down the window and told the officer that I didn’t want to turn right; I wanted to turn left as that’s the direction I lived. He insisted that they were not letting people turn left and that I must go right.

I’ve been turning left here for years and it’s never been a problem before, why is it a problem now? He had no answer for me but still insisted I turn right. We argued further but in the end I had no choice. “That’s B***S***” I said as I drove off.

Is this what I pay taxes for??

One of the great things about the internet is how much time you can save. My boyfriend’s car went out and he needed to fix it quick. The local dealer didn’t have the A/C Compressor we needed. Luckily, we found a website called buyautoparts.com. I liked the way it worked. You just click on the make and model of the car and the part pops up.

The price seemed to be inline with most wholesalers’ prices, and we got free shipping since our order was over $50 dollars. I wasn’t too worried because the parts come with a full warranty. Anytime I need car parts, this is where I go. I glad it was so fast as I’ve been very busy as of late. Sometimes I really like the internet!
