You may not get good advice at Murray's. I asked them what was the correct
replacement battery for a car and they chose and sold me one that did not
fit (and which was more expensive than the one that did fit).

This is why Jim wants to check with the manufacturer (third time). I don't
know why he cannot measure the length needed for this car.

There is some range of adjustment and, I am sure, some guidelines on how
to measure for the proper length. It may be, however, that the adjustment
had already been set to the (upper) limit of its range, so a measurement
would be incorrect.

Jim has no AC in his car, just DC. He figured out why they kept giving him
the wrong belts. First belt - he asked for a 1989 model and his car is 1987.
Then he adjusted the car to take a larger belt, and when the gave him the
second belt it did not fit. The next two belts he got intermediate sizes
which were both too large, and returned them for the second belt, which this
time he got working. All his fault. The red warning lights no longer come
on. He is happy he made it back without the belt from 10 miles away. I am
happy we made it to the hospital by 4:30 pm.

AC as in Air Conditioning, not Alternating Current.

Ann Arbor's downtown, like most downtowns, seems to be intended more for
tourists than for people who actually live in Ann Arbor.
Changing one-way streets to two-way seems like exactly the kind of move
that's intended to benefit tourists, but at the expense of locals.

Jim does not air condition anything. He figured out what the strange clunk
was as the car turned the first corner. This morning he went and found the
wrench he had left inside the engine comnpartment. Also a pile of concrete
blocks, of which you can never have too many. Our guest has just moved.

Based on thirteen years' worth of residence in Ann Arbor, I strongly
disagree.

Besides, this whole one-way/two-way thing is not in the "downtown" area,
it is in the "campus" area. Also, it is patently not about tourists
versus locals, it is about merchants trying to improve sales.

RE#135 -- The question was wether his car had air conditioning not if he used

Sindi is still not strong enough to even replace the toilet paper on the
spring-loaded holder so is not yanking any chains. Jim's car never had AC
or A/C. He had an air conditioned Jeep once that he tried the A/C on once.
It wastes gasoline. We left the windows open instead.

If you yank the chain, the water will flow from the tank and splash the
excrement around your ankles.

The terrorists win if we *aren't* allow to yank chains.
I think Benjamin Franklin had some sort of tract on the subject, if Google
is willing...
