All this talking of haiku has made me think of haichu. My daughter went on a school trip to Japan and brought back a whole suitcase of haichu.

Need to go to Germany and get some gesundheit.

I love German food. And Japanese lollies! (haichu)

So I mentioned a while back that the winter was going to be a bit rougher than it has the past few years. In fact, the autumn has been pretty odd, colder than usual for a few days, then unseasonably warm for a few, then cold again. Mrs. Racer mentioned the other day that the weather guess was for snow.

Well today I could feel it coming. The temps took a nosedive. The cloudy grayness became deep, dark black, ominous overcast, the kind that feels very close.

I just looked outside.

I see snow.

I was right.

Another haiku.

Ethyl

She is just ahead.

Racer X 69 · 12-05-2016, 02:03 AM

At the Standard oil station.

Racer X 69 · 12-05-2016, 02:03 AM

Wipe the windows.

Racer X 69 · 12-05-2016, 02:04 AM

Check the oil.

Racer X 69 · 12-05-2016, 02:04 AM

Air the tires.

Racer X 69 · 12-05-2016, 02:04 AM

A smile and a tip of the hat.

Racer X 69 · 12-05-2016, 02:05 AM

All for 19¢ a gallon.

I don't know any Ethyl. Only Tetraethyl!
