I belong to an affluent family and each member of our family owns a separate car. A few days back a relative from America had visited us. He had come along with a family of four which included a toddler. As true hosts, we gave them a warm welcome and from the very next day all of us were assigned duties of taking care of them. My duty was to take them for various outings, basically as a tourist guide. Since my car had gone for servicing I was asked to use my dad’s car. Fortunately enough we had arranged for a Portable Car Seat for the toddler and that proved to be of immense help. It weighed less than four pounds and was easily removed from my car to fit in my dad’s car.

A type of car that’s fast trying to catch up in the new world is the battery powered automobile. It basically runs on electricity. Once the charge gets over you can get it recharged from home or from any charging station for that matter. It’s very similar to your cell phone’s mechanism. Another of the diesel alternatives for the fast depleting resources of fuels is CNG. CNG stands for compressed natural gas. It’s very environment-friendly and cheap to produce. It is stored in natural containers after being made from compressing natural gas at pressurised temperatures.

When I bought a new car a few months ago I really did not know what I was doing, and so I decided to take the advice of a friend who told me about some of the various checks that I should have carried out. Among these was a DMV Inspection, which would tell me a lot about the overall state of the car. It all added to the costs, but in the end I found a car which was in a really good condition and which passed all the various inspections I had put it through. It took a lot of time but it was well worth the effort in order to make sure I got a decent vehicle.

Once my daughter went into a hardware store to buy a car upholstery cleaner and a wrench her husband asked her to get. When he handed her the wrench, the clerk told her, “You can’t clean the upholstery with that.” I’m sure he was kidding. At least I hope he was. I trust he wasn’t one of those males who believe women can’t do anything but domestic chores.

Take me for instance. I’m actually very mechanical, and can fix almost anything. I’m not claiming I use correct procedures, but at least I get the job done. For instance, we were pulling a trailer and the strut holding the trailer awning kept slipping. But I came up with the perfect solution..a paper clip. I just stuck it in and the awning has been level ever since.

I have a box full of odds and ends in my fix-it kit, with nary a nail or a screw in sight. It consists of tape, nail polish, chewing gum, safety pins, string, wire, bobby pins, etc., a practical assortment of things which do the job to perfection. I can take care of any minor annoyance. After all, it is the minor things that get to you.

Who needs to call a carpenter to repair a collapsed bed when a few books will do? With my system, not only can the height be regulated by adding or subtracting a book, but the reading material is right there should I decide to read in bed. Then there was the time our electric stove lost its drawer handle, leaving two gaping holes. I solved that in two minutes by covering the holes with matching refrigerator magnets in the shape of ducks. It worked just ducky,,there is no end to my creativity! I feel so strongly about my abilities that if that hardware clerk had made that remark to me, I would have bopped him with the wrench. I also carry bandaids.
