I wish I made enough money I could buy a brand new car, but I have to put 1100 bucks into my old, old, old car to replace a radiator, water pump, and the timing belt. The price is reasonable, and I am glad I saved more than enough money to pay for it. I will be trying like hell to put more money away, but this bullshit of 3.75 makes me just want to hurl.
Meanwhile, the FDA has approved the Pfizer COVID vaccine for the booster shots. At least I will be able to get those when I get my car back in a few days.

Vovkovinskiy came to the Mayo Clinic in 1989 as a child seeking treatment. A tumor pressing against his pituitary gland caused it to secrete abnormal levels of growth hormone. He grew to become the tallest man in the U.S. at 7 feet, 8.33 inches (2 meters, 34.5 centimeters) and ended up staying in Rochester.
His older brother, Oleh Ladan of Brooklyn Park, told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis that Vovkovinskiy was a celebrity when he arrived from Ukraine because of his size and the flickering Cold War of the late 1980s. But Ladan said Vovkovinskiy “would have rather lived a normal life than be known.”
