Not So Smart After All

Hello there most humans and many others,

Well, I have to tell you that I have been laughing so hard that I have hardly been able to breathe. Missy Linda thought she was so smart before she started out to go pick up Missy Maitlyn, Missy Elspeth, and Missy Amelia. Boy! Did she get her come uppance!

It seems that when a person puts coolant into the radiator, that person, who shall remain nameless, must be positive that the lid is back on correctly. If the lid is not fastened properly, then bad things can happen. One of those things is that the lid will fall off someplace, and anti-freeze will shoot out all over the place. It can even come out from under the hood and spray all over the windshield.

After a short time, there is not enough left to cool the engine, and the lever will go to HOT! almost immediately! It takes a while for someone to come to take a person to the auto parts store to purchase a new radiator cap and lots of coolant. However, it can be hard to tell when there has been enough coolant poured into the radiator because air bubbles can cause it to seem full when it is not.

When that happens, a certain person might find herself in a hot parking lot, about a mile from where she first broke down, waiting for the engine to cool down enough, while she goes to melting in a few seconds in the 100 degree heat. This person finally gets enough coolant into the car, and finally starts her trip. She is pretty melty and raggedy looking by then, though.

Since everyone got here safely, it is all right for us to have a good laugh at her expense, right?
