this nice slash on my finger came from...and then I remembered FINALLY fixing my windshield wipers yesterday, the harrowing details of which I will spare you.

One blade is held on with the 4-fastener HillbillySystem : (by the order of application) - some horsefence electric line, a bread tie, a bent paper clip and one of those brutal looking claws you use to bun up your hair.

The hair clip was the charm. But I was switching a Saturn blade for a Honda blade. You do what you have to do.

And I drove in the snow safely.

But my hand really hurts.

Car repair is real risk-taking.
