JIFFY LUBE

sorry i am late posting..got stuck in traffic.....decided yesterday to get the vans oil changed so went to the friendly neighborhood lube place and while i was waiting another customer just started talking...."you know you bring your car in for something and they find something else wrong...its like going to the doctor for a routine check-up and boom they find cancer". i swear thats what he said...i held my tongue....he kept on the subject how some friends just had that happen...well you know me i had to tell him it just happened to me....he was speachless..then said..i am a preacher heading for church and i will pray for you tom (he asked me my name he wasn't that tuned in)..well i figured one more couldn't hurt.....but he's the strange part...he stood up..put his hand on my head and started praying ..right there in the middle of the jiffy lube waiting room....well i look up and there the lube guy with my bill and the most amazing look on his face.....what a moment......$34.00 oil change.....$99.00....transmissiom flush....prayer in the waiting room .....priceless

Only you, Tom. I am cracking up trying to picture it all. I hope things go well today, although I don't doubt that there is a conspiracy with the staff at Sloane to try to get you in as much as possible!
Big hug!

TC, sitting in the hot tub in Incline Village, Tahoe- unbelievable tye-dye sunset tonight- thought of you. Keeping the faith and knowing you are in good hands, even by those who are random, (or are they) sould on the street- your positive energy is what's "infectious".
Peace,
