Department of Abused Apostrophes

Last week, while traveling, I ran across a sign that said, "Acupuncture and Herb's". It made me wonder who would name a child Acupuncture, and what sort of business it actually was, since obviously, it belonged to these 2 people. Another mystery to solve.

Cars on Fire

Driving along, minding my own business, this morning, my steering wheel started smoking. I'm no expert on cars, but it seemed like this was not a typically good thing to happen. Since previously this week, my electronic windows had begun to function in a completely random fashion, I was afraid to roll the windows down, unless they got stuck down. But the smoke was beginning to blur my vision, not to mention the smell was getting bad. So, do I pull over and abandon the car, or carry on? I carried on, but decided to have my girlfriend drive me home. Turns out that the electrical harness was toasted. Who even knew there was a harness for the wiring. Is it sort of like a bra for wires? But I was told that I was lucky the car didn't burst into flames. Nice to know. In all of this debacle, my running lights were on and wouldn't turn off. I didn't even know I had them. And, where in the world was my owner's manual? There are so many questions that need answering. All in all, not a good day. But my trusty mechanic, Chris, called to ask me if they could keep the car overnight, to test everything out before I got it back. That seemed like a no brainer. The next time it smokes, it could blow up. Who wants that?
