Monday Morning Reading . . .

First world problems this morning as I waited for my car battery and alternator to be checked.  There was day that I could have, would have, done this work myself, but today’s cars make even changing a battery awkward and time consuming.  So, my economic privilege allowed me to spend money on time rather than spend half my day changing out a battery with the option to have the battery be fine, but have alternator problems that I might not have discovered until the next long trip in the car.  So, while waiting for the mechanic this morning, here is a sample of my reading.  Be well.
