with the coming of may it is perhaps appropriate, or even apt, look you see, to address the folly of march.
some not inconsiderable distress, it seems, was, to be sure, caused by the failings of a post i did towards the end of the earlier month. by this i mean the partially celebrated commodore car wash one that i did. the partial celebration was as a consequence of my failure to properly capture - in Commodore 64 mode - some footage of the car wash in action.
i felt a degree of responsibility for this required me to return and try again. this, as you will see, i did, and it went better this time.
no, the above is not meant to be a video or moving image as such, just a still image. from experience i have learned not to place a video first in any of these posts, for it does not index the post in a pretty or nice way.
that is, however, indeed the car wash. also, if i am not mistaken, the very same one which i visited back in march. you know, when i failed you all with the lack of a video. but please note it is not like i go to, or hang about, that particular car wash on a frequent basis. nor is it, for that matter, the only car wash that i use.
yes, i would say that i am entirely flexible and open to ideas when it comes to which car wash to use. just as and when the need to be at one determines which i will use, and invariably it tends to be a simple matter of finding the closest. nice though this particular one is.
and there you have it. some moving images, in Commodore 64 mode, of the car wash in action. if for some reason you require a commentary to what you are seeing, to me it looks like the soapy water has been distributed over my vehicle, and then them massive brushed are coming in to do their thing.
mostly it would be fair to say that i am unsure as to what expectations anyone had of how that footage would seem. all i can really do is take it, "upload" it, present it here and hope, if not trust, that it is all as good as you had hoped for. if not, well, sorry but that is down to your ideas and not my reality.
what do i do as the vehicle is in the car wash? just sit there, really, and watch. i like to watch.
i don't go to one of them fancy, posh "valet" things, to be sure. the sort where you had someone your keys, and they go off and take your vehicle and clean it to all kinds of "showroom standards". no, for the interests of an easy, simple life i rather head to one of them ones where you drive in and let the machine do the work. if i hadn't, in fairness, i would not have been able to bring you all this exciting footage and all these wonderful images.
whilst i am not all that bothered about car washes, i do have some sympathy for the plight of their owners. quite a lot of economic turmoil, you would imagine. for a start, they must have been rolling in it when, through privatisation and the ruthless actions of provincial councils, reliable public transport was all but destroyed in the UK, making more people drive cars. more cars means more cars that need washing. but now financial ruin awaits, as the authorities shall not rest until all of us abandon cars in favour of bikes.
that's just another image for you of the car wash in action, on the off chance that all other images presented were not quite enough.
anyway, i think that is all i have to offer, or give, on this subject.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
