Earlier this week my car asked to be taken to the shop for repairs. A deep, distressed growl replaced the normal quiet hum of road noise. Either I’d developed a mechanical problem or a dyspeptic grizzly had taken up residence under the hood.
Frankly, given the usual cost of a trip to my mechanic, I hoped it was.
My examination of the engine compartment revealed the usual cryptic tangle of wires, hoses, belts, gears, and greasy metal parts. No bears, badgers, beavers or any other unexpected wild fauna.
“Yeah, we don’t see bears real often,” my mechanic said. “We’ll take a look at it. Have a seat in our Waiting Area.”

Hi Kevin, I got your feed from a Pickle post. I read your tag line and figured that anyone that promised to deliver humor in under 6 minutes deserved a listen. Well you didn’t disappoint! I thought it was very well written, produced, narrated and also very funny (Lyndon Johnson…HA!) I also really like the pen & ink cartoons that illustrate the shows. They remind me of The New Yorker or the Monopoly game cards. Great look! So I’m now subscribed and have downloaded every episode so I can catch up. Keep the great essays coming (Cummings?) and I’ll be listening. Cheers – Bruce – - Bruce Murray Host of the Zedcast Zedcast@GMail.com http://www.zedcast.com
