Done....

     Well that’s done! When the car tires were last rotated the mechanic said that were down to the wear bar. Thinking that it’s safer to drive on the first third of tread wear than the last third, today I bought new tires. The old ones came with the car new, I purchased the care with 3,500 miles and it now has 36,000. Cheap tires are the norm on new cars.

       The new tires are 60,000 milers, though I often get more than what is rated because I drive like an old man. Imagine that! They are Nokian brand. Guess where they were made? Japan was my guess and that was way wrong. They come from Nokia, Finland and are noted for great traction in rain and snow. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

      The inmates of the OFH have been in a titter worrying about next year’s rent increases. This, after reports of a different OFH raising fees 14% next year. Today we received word that our increase will be 4%. Given the inflationary times that seems very modest. What other inmates think will be interesting.
