The noises of spring

Yesterday, I was driving around with the top down, music turned up -- Marilyn Manson's "This Is The New Shit," because [livejournal.com profile] melovechocolate had not head it and didn't recognize it when [livejournal.com profile] eternaleponine and I were quoting the chorus at each other while cleaning the study on Sunday. Good convertible music. Remind me to post about convertible music generally.

Anyway, there I was, about to turn onto Farmington Avenue by the reservoir, when I heard a loud "vroom."

"Bet that guy on the Harley won't be wearing a helmet," I thought, and turned my head to look.

No Harley.

Awwww, BOOGERSNOTS.

It was my muffler.

The three mile commute all winter did exactly what you'd expect to the exhaust system: allowed condensation to build up and turn into rust.

Claude can see it on Friday.

I guess I have another reason to be happy I'm taking the bus!
