I need to work for the weather department, if there is such a place. It's guaranteed to rain 100% every time I get my car washed. And the more money I spend on washing it, the harder and nastier the rain will be. Heaven forbid if I ever get it detailed! For the past few months, it's been hotter than hades in these parts and I hadn't washed my car because I don't like hanging out at the car wash. Yea, petty, I know. Anyway, all this talk of a drought prompted my son talk me into getting a car wash this past weekend. That, and the fact that there was about 4 inches of dust and grime that had gathered on my car. For the longest time, I thought I had a gray car. Imagine my surprise when they told me my car was done and it turned out to be blue. What I love most about a car wash are the clean windows. I usually clean my windshields at the gas station, but nothing beats the streak-free glimmer of a shiny, clean, hand-washed window. I can see the bugs smashing into them now.
So, my clean car and I drive off into the sunset and what do I see next on the news? A chance of showers within the next two days. Of course, if I left it dirty and dusty, the temperature would climb back to the 100s. So my choices are clean car and a good chance of rain, therefore, ultimately a dirty car, or dusty gray car but sunny skies. I do like having a clean car. But I think the community should pitch in for a car wash each time we need the rain!
