I like that, the trickster, sort of like the Raven to west coast native
peoples. Yep, if it wasn't already the headache, it'd be the Raven. Malicious
in a joking, calculated  sort of way. I've really come to understand it's
little game. Mine has, though, to its credit, nearly always died at home,
beginning with the crank keyway on the very night I drove it home. Should have
crushed it then. The 80, rotted well beyond hope, would start no matter how
cold it was, poor thing, it wanted to live, it had a happy spirit. Cathy
