Yesterday I won an auction for an antique Absinthe fountain, originating in France.
I am very excited... apparently it is fully functional, and is just the right height to fit under my kitchen cabinets.
Tomorrow I pick up my car, the repairs at no cost. VW decided -- after the transmission was removed and pictures taken of the clutch -- that it was part failure, so it was fully covered under warranty. This is a huge relief, as the bill would have been astronomical for a repair of this magnitude.
