When I bought my car 7 years ago, a friend of mine told me that it would be a bitch to replace the headlights due to the design. One of my headlights finally burn-out and that friend was right. It is ridiculously complex, and after all its only a headlight. The bulb is held in with some bizarre spring clamp. I tried for almost an hour to get it to work and was unable to do so, so I went up to the Honda dealership for help. They were closed but I figured out the trick on the way home. I got home and promptly lost the screw that secures the spring clamp piece. I finally said screw it and duct taped the bulb in, taped the spring piece in the housing, attached the wires and replaced the seal. Thank god for duct tape. I figure that I have problems , I will worry about it then, but it looks like it will work. The seal and the wires act to secure it and the bulb pretty much stays there by itself anyway.

Christmas was cool., I hope yours was too. My future mother-in-law asked Kim about some more stocking-stuffers for me this morning. She has already bought a bunch of stuff that I will receive this weekend, in addition to the fact that I am fairly non-materialistic and generally happy with anything I am given. Kim thankfully told her to not buy anything else.

If you're lucky maybe I'll post this weekend from another state. Since we're getting ready for the trip we're having takeout from the Mediteranean Deli for dinner. That means a falafel sandwich in my future.
