Blackout

The power has gone out so am writing this on the trusty laptops batteries. They aren't in good condition so I don't know how long this will last.The job interview yesterday went well... I think. They say they will have made their decision by Friday week. I am still not going to build up my hopes. The car however did not go so well. As I was driving along I noticed what I thought was smoke coming up from below the drivers side floor and thought that I had dropped a cigarette end and that the carpet was burning. I stopped the car to extinguish the carpet and discovered that it was steam from the motor. It was only then that I checked the temperature gauge and saw that it was on the meltdown level.

I called into the service station near the interview and tried refilling the radiator to discover the coolant was coming out the bottom of the engine bay as quickly as it was being refilled.I limped to a service station I use closer to home with the engine starting to make strange noises and handed the keys to the mechanic in disgust adding " I think i have cooked it" I then proceeded to the town's watering hole where I drank 4 schooners of beer and a large glass of cheap port. It made me feel better but am feeling the negative effects this morning. I can't drink like I used to...The power just came back on.
