Life is one beautiful trip
Thanks to all the nice folks at Pat MacGrath Jeep in Cedar Rapids, especially Nate and Larry. They finished up the repairs early and I was back on the road before noon. The Jeep was practically purring as I headed down 380 South.
And then, about 40 miles out of town, the Check Engine light came on again.
Guys!? What's up with that? And the engine still smells funny. Any thoughts?
Since the light had been on for the previous thousand miles or so, I kept driving and I'm somewhere in Indiana tonight. Can I tell you how agonizing it is for a girl who grew up within spittin' distance of Memorial Stadium in Baltimore to be anywhere near Indianapolis? I reserve the right to bear a lifetime, unreasonable grudge against this town. And that team. And Bob Irsay. And Mayflower.
On the bright side, my gas mileage has doubled.

Maggie, it was wonderful to see you again. We are so glad that you were able to stop in Cedar Rapids to visit with us. The only down side was that you and Scooter, the wonderdog, had to leave us to hit the road again. So, until next we meet, we wish you safe travels and joyful adventures on your beautiful trip.
