  I've not been to the airport here in years, no need to.
  When last there around '03, I guess, there were several car rental places
that had no in/near town offices.

  The last time I brought wipers they were like $5.  Of course that was
over 30 years ago.
  One thing I can't understand about modern wipers.
  You have some big car, like a Hummer, with dinky little wipers on it. 
But little death trap has huge industrial strength wipers.

   I had a discussion along those lines with a former super (I was temping
then) and said his condition the same now as it had been for years and the
same people claim they will do something different and never do and why
continue to vote for them?
   He had no good reply, just he had always voted that way and worried 
about voting differently.
   One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over hoping
for a different result.

  How boar phobic!  Or something like that.  :)

  Actually that did happen to me once.
  Its a long story but I was pulled over in Ohio going to visit my mother
in a nursing home and waiting for my tax refund to renewal my license and
all.  
  Had to go to mayors court in this small town.
  Everyone who went before the five person panel before me was found
guilty.  If you got a citation it was because you were guilty in first place.
  By now I had gotten up to date and my fine was slightly reduced.
  Later on a local call in show people told stories of dealing with these
people.  The upshot was if one paid by cheque it was never cashed.  The
"judges" divided all the cash among themselves and pocketed it.
   Ah, small town politics, ya gotta love it.
