Sheesh

As I mentioned Friday, before pulling out of Leasburg Dam State Park that morning I checked the oil then closed the hood. It didn't latch. Couldn't get it to latch. The cross bar in the hood that the latch grabs went missing.

Well, not really. I took a good look at it this morning and couldn't see where a cross bar would have been attached. It turns out nothing is missing - the latch is meant to grab the rolled edge of the hole in the hood liner. All it needed was some oil on the mechanism. Sheesh indeed!

Persistent and Ineradicable Instinct

Whenever we have a strong and persistent and ineradicable instinct, we may be sure that it is not original with us, but inherited -- inherited from away back, and hardened and perfected by the petrifying influence of time.
