Besides the community newspaper, I hardly ever get a chance to read a hard copy of the news nowadays. A sign of the times, perhaps? The only time I ever get to do that is if I'm waiting at some reception waiting for an appointment, and they happen to have a copy there.
I took my car in for a tire rotation today and there was a National Post lying around. I thought this newspaper went bankrupt a few months back, so I was a little surprised that the paper is still around.
Tire rotation was kind of funny... this new kid with an extrovert personality came out and asked what his next task was. The reception guy told him he had to do another rotation. His reaction was "Another one?!?!?" "Yup, just like your last one!".
When he was done, he came to me and said, "Your tires have so much tread, you didn't have to rotate them yet." The reception guy asked him how he measured. "With my finger!" The reception guy shook his head and went out to check with an actual instrument. He did confirm that my tires had very little wear despite having ran 20k, and the wear that it did have was very uniform. Score!
The exchange between this new mechanic and his mentor made my day. Oh yeah, I guess I drive more like Button than Hamilton.
