Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Thursday, June 30, 2005

If you have an SUV, minivan, or practically any vehicle with tiedown points in the rear loadspace, keep a foot-long bungee cord handy. In our Land Rover Disco, I keep it hooked between the tiedown point on the floor and the hook above it intended for the loadspace cover.

When you are parked facing up hill at the grocery store, pull your cart up to the car and hook one end of the bungee cord to the tiedown point and the other to the side of the cart. This keeps the cart from rolling away as you load and arrange your purchases.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
