When it rains it pours, or should I say, when it snows it's a blizzard.

Mud, mud, mud. That's what Nate drives through to get into the construction site he has been working at. Well, yesterday, as he raced through the mud (if you slow down or stop you get stuck)he hit a big rock. Quickly, he knew it was bad news. The van started shifting poorly. He couldn't even get it home. He barely made it to the Autozone. Lucky for us, it turned out the rock put a healthy sized gash in the transmission pan which cost us a minimal amount of money to fix, compared to what a destroyed transmission would have cost. However, it meant Nathan spent all day in the rain turned sleet turned snow laying under the van in the auto zone parking lot fixing the problem. Then, when it was finally all fixed we couldn't find the keys. We have two of them, and we seem to have lost both. That's only the beginning of our car problems, seeing as our new van, that I just had to have, has not run well for us hardly a day since we bought it. So, as I said, when it snows its a blizzard sometimes. We just have to grin and bear it. After all, when the blizzard is over, the world looks pretty good.
