at the library
in the next town! I was actually nervous about driving, doing so little of it these days.
But we did it, and returned the books which I wanted out before I forgot they weren't mine and lost track of them.
My nervousness was not helped, on the way home, by a loud clang,a flash, and an alert on the dashboard to tell me: routine maintenance due soon. What drama queens design these ideas? I nearly went off the road with shock.
However, home again. Breathing quietly.
Glad you did this safely...Breathe and enjoy your afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI posted using the new blogger. Which sent your comment to spam, and I can't find out how to respond to reader comments at all. So I've reverted to what they call legacy blogger to retrieve and publish your comment and respond.
DeleteI'm glad I'm not the only driver who gets unnerved at these helpful alerts. I'm just getting the hang of this car after driving another for 20 years, gimme a break!
I intended this for Ms Moon there, even clicked on her and now it's here. Bear with me. If it's not one thing it's another!
DeleteAnd I'm planning to enjoy the afternoon if possible!
My daughter and I decided the other day that those damn dashboard lights should be called "Anxiety Alerts!"
ReplyDeleteIt is a strange feeling to get out and drive, isn't it?
See the comment that ended up in e's box. This is the new blogger at work. I had to go back to the old version to respond. Haven't found that function im the new improved one(!)
ReplyDeleteI get a light that comes on but no alarm sound thank god. and I tried to use the new blogger. wouldn't let me drag and drop my pics and when I tried to use the add image function it wouldn't work either. don't care for this new version.
ReplyDeleteI was alarmed when I saw sush a warning recently. Cars will talk soon!
ReplyDeleteMine does! It tells me to fasten my seatbelt!
DeleteOur library is opening next week too. I imagine it will have all kinds of precautions in place.
ReplyDeleteOur library is not even scheduled to open. This is just the book drop for items we had borrowed before lockdown. We are still in crisis mode. One day they'll open!
DeleteMy car flashes up a variety of indecipherable icons which just alarms me since I don't know what they all mean!
ReplyDeleteThe alert gave a code, which worried me until I got home and consulted the owner's manual. That's when I found all the hysteria was about a few minor maintenance items. These guys don't seem to have much idea of relative priorities.
DeleteGood thing our car doesn't have an audible alarm or I WOULD drive off the road! Ours has stupid little icons which always require a consult with the manual to discover what they might be trying to tell us. Our book drop has been closed at our library but is supposed to re-open on Monday....good thing they're forgiving any late fees!
