In response to Shepherd's asking about what happened with the whole car problem — well, things turned out fine. I took it to my mechanic, who messed with it and replaced a few O-rings, and all is well.
I'd like to thank my tet for the good-mind and all the love. You guys know who you are, and you are just amazing. It is beyond my skill with words to express how much I value your friendship, and my gratitude for your having accepted me as your friend.
I love you guys.
