My Grandma’s Wisdom – Trouble

I generally was a well behaved child and I tried to be so at my Grandma’s house. But even mostly behaved children sometimes get rambunctious. In times like these, my grandma would give me the following bit of wisdom. And by the way, I never found out what good trouble was.

Worried About Safety of My Honda Car

 

And here it is

I have had my Honda HR-V for over 20,000 miles. In that distance, I’ve had:

1) One of the safety systems take control of the steering wheel and veer the car sharply to the edge of an overpass. Thank goodness, I successfully fought its attempt to move me away from a semi and over the edge of the bridge onto the road below. (Now, this can be a difficult onramp.) There’s little approach before entering the right lane of the freeway. Sometimes there’s a semi still in that lane. This involves driving briefly on the shoulder. It’s a bit tricky, but not difficult for an alert driver.)

The decision for this problem was utterly simple for Honda’s safety system. Avoid the semi and instead slam the side of the bridge and quite possibly plunge to the road below.

2) My windshielf cracked due to a tiny, tiny pebble.

Me: Okay, fix it Honda.
Honda: Not so fast, we need to order the part.
Me: Okay, order the part.
Honda: Not so fast, we don’t even now when we’ll get it. It could take montns. (I’d be driving all that time without a windshield!)
Me: Is there anything you could do?
Honda: You could call Honda national to see if they have it and if not, ask them to expedite the windshield as an emergency measure.
Me: Since you’re Honda dealership, could you call Honda National?
Honda: No. you have to call national.

It went rather downhill after that.

3) Slamming on the brakes for no apparent reason. I was not going faster than the flow of traffic and there were no cars in front of me, only to the left.

I’m sorry this is not a funny post.

Earl Grey Shea Butter Soap

EARL GREY SHEA BUTTER SOAP

­
INGREDIENTS
­
2 pounds shea butter base
1 teaspoon bergamot essential oil
½ teaspoon lemongrass essential oil
½ teaspoon orange essential oil
2 tea bags Earl Grey(tm) tea
isopropyl alcohol
­
Makes 10½ bars. 1″ wide. Takes 3½ hours.
­
SPECIAL UTENSILS
­
soap mold
spray bottle
soap slicer (optional)
­
PREPARATION
­
Cut shea butter base into 1″ cubes. Add shea butter to 2 large glass measuring cups. Melt base in 30 second intervals. Stir after every time. Add essential oils. Let sit for 20 minutes. (This inhibits Earl Grey tea from settling to the bottom of the soap mold..) Add Earl Grey tea. Mix with knife until well blended.
­
Spray silicon mold with isopropyl alcohol. Pour melted soap into soap mold. If desired, lightly spray bubbles with isopropyl alcohol to make them disappear. Let soap sit for 3 hours. Use soap slicer to cut soap into slices 1″ wide.
­
TIDBITS
­­
1) Earl Grey tea is named after the second Earl Grey. Bummer for the first earl. Anyway, the second Earl Grey was a British prime minister. He helped pass the Durham University Act. His reward? That college got named Grey College. The third earl did little of interest to us. Although, rumors persist that went undefeated in Parcheesi. The fourth earl served at Governor General of Canada in 1909. The Canadian Football League name its championship trophy after him, the Grey Cup. Clearly for about a century, this was a happening family
­
2) But so was the La Fong family. Harry La Fong invented the stackable balloon cube. Can you imagine a party without a tsunami of little kids screaming through La Fong’s StackablesTM?  but it was Carl La Fong’s film career that really put Hollywood’s film making on the cinematic map. You might have thought that the inability to memorize lines would have stopped cold any acting career. But the owner, Earl Zane Grey, of FlautasTM Studios noticed La Fong’s calming effect on movie making, So, Earl Grey, hired La Fong. Whenever actors addressed characters who couldn’t be seen, they’d be speaking to the off-stage La Fong. Thus Carl La Fong became the quintessential Man Off Stage for decades to come. He even has a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
