Hot and cold don't mix

I really like my car. My car may have some issues, but my '93 Honda Accord is just that: mine.

I just recently got it back (after being on the shelf for some time for various problems) and said to myself, "Self, it's a nice hot day (remember hot for later) , I'm home early, I think I'll wash my car."

That seems like a normal enough thought, doesn't it. So I went to Auto Zone after work and picked up some stuff to do just that. I get home, change clothes, and go back outside and wash my car.

Where is this leading....be patient.

Now, how does water feel when it comes out of the hose? ......... If, you said, "cold", give yourself a hand.

So, how does it feel inside of a car when the windows are closed while sitting out on a hot day under direct sunlight? ......... If, you said, "hot", you must be a genius.

Reader's Note: I have washed cars by hand before and never had any problems.

About 30-40 minutes later after washing the car's exterior, I go inside to clean and polish the dash when I look up and see a @#%$@ crack the size of a fault line! I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes (See pic above). Between the heat inside the car and the cold water from the hose the glass actually cracked!!

At this point it was time to go inside, lay on the couch and take a damn nap. Another crazy moment in my '93 Honda Accord.

Addendum (the following day): During the work day, the crack has grown about 3-4 more inches. Damn, Damn, Damn!!!!

0-3 with an RBI??

I love baseball. I live my baseball dreams by playing softball on Sunday's in the Kings County Softball League. In this week's episode of As The Softball Turns, your boy (me, in case you didn't know) decided to invite his sister Debbie, and her two oldest children.

It wasn't a good day for me: 0-3 with an RBI. But my niece Imani took about 18424 pictures on my camera including this one of me driving a run on a fielder's choice.

More pics to come.....

First Time For Everything

Well, well, well....

This is my/the first entry in my blog. I've wanted to do one for a while, but never had the time (you know: work, school, sleep, and other crap that kept me from doing it).

Anyway I hope people visit and like it.

I would like to acknowledge the people I personally know that have blogs.

My boy, and PHP programming guru: Marcus Whitney

Former college classmate and fellow NYC teacher: Eric Dutt



Thanks.
