Geez. It's a good thing I don't need a new suit, too.
* The car was overdue for an oil change and rotation. A sticking rear brake caliper also needed to be replaced, along with the rotor it shredded. Brake pads were replaced under warranty at no charge.
** The interview is in Toronto. It's about a 750-mile round trip. Our car, "Dirty Harry," gets about 30mpg. So 25 gallons of gas ought to get us there and back. If I buy gas in the US, I'll pay around $2.80/gallon, on average. Hence, $70.
***The Lovely Mrs. byoolin's trebuchet will accompany me.

Wonderful, wonderful! I'll keep a good thought for you Monday. They are so lucky to get a chance to hire you.
How much of the hair came off?
Good luck with the interview!
