A post about cars

This post has two parts both involving cars in one way or another. The first part is about this good looking Cadillac driven by this good looking lady. My brother's friend (or maybe more than just a friend, who can say) gave this battery operated Cadillac to Tizita. It was being stored in her mom's garage since her mom got it as a bonus for purchasing a full sized Cadillac and it was looking for a home. Well, it has found its home right here in our garage amongst the other cars, trike, and big wheel. We took Tiz over to the pool parking lot today to give it a spin. We were a bit apprehensive on how Tiz would be able to handle the car. Well, our concerns were unfounded since she could drive it like she had been behind a wheel all her life. It took her no time at all to control the gas pedal, stopping within inches of curbs and other obstacles. She also had no trouble with putting it into reverse and then back into forward with the shift. We just laughed as she drove all around the parking lot with her Mimi strapped into the passenger seat. A big thank you to Vikki for thinking of Tiz!

The second part of the car post has nothing to do with a Cadillac and is not nearly as much fun as Tiz's car story. As you know, John is currently unemployed and living off the government. He has been going to various interviews but so far, no takers. Well on Monday he went to an interview at Beaver Dam Ford for a position as a car salesman. The interviewer seemed to think John fit the profile of a salesman very well and offered him a position on the completion of a training seminar. Today, John attended the first day of the seminar, by the way, this will be the last day of the seminar for him. He said it made his stomach turn and he knows he would not be able to sell a car. I am proud of him for giving it a try, but I am also relieved that he decided against the position. I know this is probably silly, but I always think of car salesmen as being shady, even dishonest. Sorry, if anyone reading this sells cars for a living. I still think they are shady, but I also know how hard they have to work because John would be making $100.00 a week unless he sold cars. Who lives on that? So, for awhile we will continue to live on our government! Time to do some more job searching and soul searching, we know there is a bigger plan awaiting us.

I probably couldn't sell water to a thirsty cameljocky or firewood to an Eskimo in winter, so, yeah, I slamming of the brakes was in order. Tiz looks GREAT in a Caddy, though!
