Eggszactly!

We have a local sort of low-end repair shop that I bring my own oil and 
filter. They do the work for $12. Lift, drain, dispose. Half the time 
they grease the (visible) zerks while they're at it. Such a deal! I do 
it on my way to work.

There used to be a decent cafe across the street; they'd call out or 
come get you! But that closed and now there's a TERRIBLE overpriced 
P.O.S. "high end" (read: over priced, snobby) shop with not very good 
coffee and $14 greasy sandwiches. Nice decor though. Unbelievable what 
people consider "classy". And I'm fine with organic fair-trade $4 coffee 
and wifi, just for reference (and more OT I cannot imagine).

I think I need to get back to work now.
