"Workin' @ the Car Wash"

Looks like the car wash business was booming this past weekend. Snow & ice a few days previous , w/ below normal temps , left everyone & their brother searching for a place to get their vehicles "presentable".

I drove around for several minutes in search of a line free location w/ a bill changer that actually worked ! As I said before it seemed to be the "thing" to do on this beautiful weekend.

After "almost giving in" to the fully automated type , I decided to try one last location..my patience & all around good humor were about shot !

When I pulled in I had to fall in line , & after a few moments a bay that had been "down" was now repaired & the owner told me to "come on in" ! When I pulled in , he told me that I had a free wash ( Amen) because he had to use money to fix the problem. Just goes to show that "patience is a virtue" !!

I noticed all types of vehicles of course...old & new...scratch & dents & those that looked as if they had just been driven off of the showroom floor. You know , when they came in covered completley in grime & salt..they weren't very attractive. After the dirt had been "washed away" even an old beater looked "presentable" !

So it goes...a little snow & dirt & grime, a car wash to make it "presentable" ( even though scratches & dents remain ) & the cycle continues on & on . Even though the seasons change , the grime appears & has to be "washed away" to be made "presentable" all over again...........


Psalm 51:7 ; Clean me w/ hissop , & I will be clean: wash me , & I will be whiter than snow.
