I’m so very, very proud of myself right now: I fixed something on my car all by myself! I did something more complicated than checking the oil! Granted, all I did was change a light bulb on my headlight, which, to my delight, does not require a degree in rocket science. All it required was ...

I’ve finally gotten around to adding Troy and Eu’s entertaining Urban Therapy blog to the list of Amigos Locos.
