Can you hear the universe laughing at me?

In what can be explained as nothing other than cosmic payback, after putting that two-hundred-dollar 20x200 print on my credit card yesterday, I took my Jeep in for what I thought would be a basic oil change today, and as of the last call from the mechanic, the estimate is up to $845. Oil change, air filter, brake hose, brake pads, rotor resurfacing, PCV valve, rear differential fluid. . . . At least my cardboard box by the freeway off-ramp will be decorated with some lovely art. Look for me at Normandie and the 10.

Was that you at the off ramp, holding out the donations cup?

I feel your pain. The day before my 18 prints (a fair number 20x200 pieces) were returned by my framer my car service shop called to say that my maintenance visit found $3000 worth of MANDATORY repairs and my daughter called to say she was engaged. Perhaps you should consider a print sale?
