I'm gonna cry. My car was making noises, so I brought it back into the shop yesterday, and now I'm once again in a rental. Seems there occurred another, different problem, and it needs to go back under the knife for some post-op op ( Read more... )

I picked up a rental last week, 'cause my car was in the shop, and I failed to remember to grab my FastTrak from my car (stupid me).

We (finally!) learn a bit about his Eastern family!

Not yet half way through, but I'm enjoying it. I'm interested to see what happens and how Vlad gets out of this latest jam.
