His battery recharges on coffee By JOHN SINOR Copley News Service Woke up in the gray dawn and found my battery dead. Well, I mean the car battery. My own battery was still grinding over a little, though Fhave to quick charge it every morning with black coffee. Actually, this car doesn’t become MY car until it ceases to function. When it is running fine, it is HER car. When it dies, she trades cars with me. “Well, I’m going to be late if I don’t take the other car, so I HAVE to leave you that one,” she explains. How can I argue with logic like that? It is a clear matter of handling first things first. However, I am second. And my problems involve going to the store for bread for lunches, driving two offspring to different schools at different ends of the dty. then getting myself to work. And all I’ve got is a car that won’t even groan at rhe. Hardly a day goes by in this game of life that 1 don’t find myself hiving to punt on third down. > I said: “All right, nobody panic. I know where I can borrow a car for an hour or so. I’ll call a cab and go get it.” “I’ve got to leave on my bike,’’ said one boy. “Can you sign this note for me?” I know he stayed home with a cold the other day, so I signed the note. But I never had a chance to read it. Someday I’m going to sign an excuse giving somebody the rest of the school year off. “What about the bread’” asked another “We can t make our lunches without any bread.” I said: “You should have thought of that last night when you were sitting up scarfing peanut butter sandwiches in front of the TV. Never mind, I’ll pick some up on the way to get the car.” I picked up the phone and dialed it. “Hello, I called for a cab about 30 minutes ago and he still hasn’t shown up. He is? I thought so. OK, as I said before, you have to get my street by turning off on Albatross, and then....” Our address is a little tricky to find. Over the years, countless cab drivers looking for us have just disappeared from the face of the earth. “Man, I never knew this street even existed before. How’ja ever find this place, anyway?” I said: “I was cruising around with a lost cab driver once when I spotted the ‘For Sale’ sign. You want to take me to the grocery store?” He took me to the market and I ran in and bought two loaves of bread. Back at the cab, the driver said: “Gee, don’t that drive up the price of bread a lot for you — I mean, considering the cab fare and all?” I explained that was only the first stop, and gave him the directions to the car I could borrow. In 20 minutes I was back home and loading passengers into the car. “Omigosh,” I said. “Today is garbage day and nobody put the cans out on the sidewalk. You guys pile but of there and give me a hand ” We beat the truck by about three minutes. Forty minutes later, everybody wasat school and I was at the office. One of the girls came by the desk and said; “I’m going upstairs Can I get you any coffee?” I said: “Yeah. Get me about four, will you?”
