It's fixed

This morning Julio fixed the shift key on my laptop. I think it'll be good for another 20,000 or so shifts! Gracias, Julio!

Now, when you tell someone, "It's fixed", what do you mean? It's fixed! Right? It will work from now on, it won't break within a week or two, it's ready to go for good! Well, that isn't always the case in our neighborhood!

For months the neighbors have complained about the terrible state of the 3 block road into our subdivision. And, yes, it's terrible! The shocks on my car have gone out long ago - on all our cars! Well, one day, to my surprise, there were barrels set up so we had to detour around the terrible state of things. And there was a huge truck at the end of the road! Yahoo! They're fixing it!

They fixed it all right. They poured gravel all down the road, covering the terrible pot holes. It's fixed! For a week or so! Now that the rains have started, it's almost as bad as it was before. Almost. And getting worse fast! But, IT'S FIXED!
