We're going to go play tourist in our new hometown today. Pike Place Market. The kids are hot to check out the down under shops.
Don't I get a cookie?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

They and you are going to love it! Have some lavender ice cream for me, if you find it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
You're going to have So Much Fun! I got a wonderful Andrew Wyeth book at the bookstore there, and walked away from a dozen more I'd like to have gotten, as well. And the fooooood! And the incense store! And, and, and-- You're going to have So Much Fun!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Much healing~ma for your friend, vw!
I ended up going to AutoZone, and it turns out, I just wasn't putting enough force into it. In fact, I'm not entirely certain I have enough strength to get the coolant overflow tank open on my own, even still. Did manage to master the engine oil cap, though.

That's how the last one was, I think. But this one... just ordinary threaded closure, but for some reason requiring a lot of brute strength.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

Always Anti-fascist!
That sounds like where my mother might be talking to thing "Work, goddamnit."(Yes, I got my ladylike speech from my mother. But she usually thinks them when they do, also.)

If all else fails, swear like a sailor, and hope that's sufficient lubricant?
