Tru, your serendipity fairy visited me. This happened the day I read about your experience with Ronnie Stoneman, but have been forgetting to tell you:
I was walking through the local variety store, and I was thinking about your story. Just as I was getting to the part where she suggested the Atkins diet to you, it suddenly occurred to me to wonder if she knew your last name, and if that's why she said that. And then I turned a corner, and there was a display of all these Atkins bars. "That's a weird coincidence," I thought, and turned another corner, to come upon a display of videos for sale. The only one I saw on the shelf, instantly, was "Serendipity."
"Whoa, I hear you, Serendipity Fairy," I said (almost) out loud.

I think it is a good thing the seredipity fairy would be visiting us at this particular time. I think it means to travel with us to Alberta, Hummmmmm.......

You ever wonder what Jack was doing out on that back road when his tire went flat?
They had called for rain every afternoon this week and I wondered why in the Hell didn;t I mow the yard last weekend. The call came from the office a key I had been waiting on was ready so I would head in and get iti so I could show this house. The new agent, she had called me. She has a Pippy Longstocking of a daughter who today coated her feet with some thing to make cracked heals peal.
She asked me if I could stop at Bojangles and get her a biscuit and I said sure. Then I rememoried they didn;t take debit cards so I had to run by the ATM, I cut into the parking lot, too quick, I hit the curb, hard my tire busted.
I got out the $20 Sears and Roebuck air pump which pointed out the busted place to me, n the rain. So I got the trunk open, full of shit, I got the spare out, the jack, but I am missing......, of all things. The tire iron.
Maybe the seredipity fairy made off with it, I dunno.
I knew the tellers and one of them handed he her keys and said she thought she had one, she did, laying right next to a box of romance novels. I carried the impliment to my jacked up car and groaned them lug nuts off. Here was this thing I had known all my life as a tool, and now it was a weapon.
I am driving very carefully now on the little baby tire. I'll go to the used tire place tomorrow and get a replacement. It will cost between $10 & $15. The guy who runs the place will give me back a dollar from my cash and tell me to buy myself a biscuit.

This must be the serendipity fairys day to,make you know to keep careful track of your tires. Today we went to get our tires rotated, and the front end of the car aligned. The tire store we went to couldnt get us in. But reported we needed two new tires, and an alignment for the car. We went to another one of the same chain. They said we didnt need the alignment but we needed all new tires. Dang.. well that was a perfect start to our week. I am choosing to think, it is the fairys way of telling us we might have had big tire problems on the way to california. So now we can drive there with no worries about the car and tires...
At least we didn't have to use a tire iron. Oh by the way, I forgot to mention, they broke the center cap on one of our hubcaps...
Gosh it seems to me that prices are getting higher, and reliable work is getting harder to come by/ But its all good, they didnt charge us for the alignment which we didnt need. doh
