Between the Lines
posted Tuesday, February 10, 2004

Does the right side of older cars rust more often? A non reliable source suggested the idea that since road salt will gather at the sides of the road it seems to make some sense that right side of cars would rust first. I've never noticed. Could this strange fact be true?

TRAVEL TIP OF THE MONTH: Pillows are a luxury, but a pain to carry around. Leave your head cushion at home and simply inflate the empty wine bag from the first box of wine that is tediously consumed. Enjoy your sleep.


----Born to Beleive------

How do I manage, expecting to earn an eternal smile.
Even for a believer, still sounds to take awhile.
Each day, I bask in the bright Australian sun.
My feet burn from the hot fine sand, every time I run.
Each day I swim a different mile long beach, in eternal bliss.
Yet there's always something, that seems a miss.
Traveling is difficult, leaving behind things I enjoyed, but now they're gone!
While watching people that make me smile like no others can, will always move on.
A wise man once taught me, how to perceive.
How to be happy and how to believe.
Its not about people, or materialistic things.
But rather whether I prefer devils, or angels with wings.
I was told if I believe that's all that matters.
From that point on, life will have no tatters.
While I still try and figure, how all that is done.
I will continue wondering where my next smile comes from.

Rust on the right side? That sure is an unreliable source. I think that cars rust most on the top of the roof because the snow is melted by the sun and the little droplets of melt water concentrate the sunlight to form little magnifying glasses that pit your roof paint job! Oh an about your pillow thing. I've been sleeping on empty wine bags for years! Just slip a pillow case over em and nobody notices!

Great Poem Dwayne! Glad to see that you are finding time to write down there, I hope it will help me with my writers block I have been having lately. I am enjoying your rust theory, it does make sense, but Canadian Winters are terrible and I think the area on a vehicle that gets the bad end of the stick when it comes to rust is your underbody. But that could be why we have underbody spray to avoid that problem, but then again we also have rust check that can be used on the sides of your car as well. Wow, ok obviously I have a lot to say about this issue...lol Thanks for the pillow idea, but I don't know if I could get rid of my nice comfy pillow to settle for a boxed wine bag, but it's a lot easier to carry around. Maybe I will try it! Keep Writing Love C

Nice poem Dwayne. I didn't think you'd give up your pillow. As for the rust thing, I gotta say, both sides of my truck back home rusted pretty equally so I'm not quite buying the right side rusts first. Your pics on are the way. Take care, miss you.
