Black Gold - NOT !
During a horrid commute from the office tonight, after another 10 hour day, I was blessed by an SUV in front of me as it imploded its oil pan (or some other auto oil thingy) all over the front of my car. I felt like Chevy Chase (was that movie called Modern Problems???) as I turned on the wipers to clear the sludge from my windshield....only to have it smear into a frosted-glass windshield. All this fun with 25 miles remaining in the commute.

Three rounds through the car wash later (thankfully, tipping a few dollars gets you those extra rounds free of charge), there's little evidence of the oil attack. This work week DOES end tomorrow, right?
