Little Orphan Millie

I knew they had it in 'em! This week's Simpsons is the best this season so far. I really liked the tale of redemption, wherein Homer makes some progress as a human by the end, and this time, he doesn't screw it up. I also appreciated the explanation of Kirk and Luann's appearances. It's the things like that that keeps the internet fanbase happy while they carp about declining quality this and Ian Maxtone-Graham that. Also, did anyone notice the use of the full opening sequence with some new sounds added?

Moving on, I praised it initially, but my Nissan Versa, only three months into my driving it, has had more problems than I'd expect. Twice I've taken it over to the Nissan place in Durham for unidentified sounds in the interior that drove me to near-losing my head. The first time was in mid-October, where the problem they found was a cable and a rod hitting each other inside the AC. The second time was last week, and this time, they couldn't hear the varied sounds I was hearing, no matter how I claimed I was. Both times, I left it for a few days, and was forced to ride two different buses from West Durham to Downtown Raleigh, where my Mom would drive me home. That was an adventure, I'll tell you that. I wouldn't mind riding a bus, but there's no way they will ever link Clayton to Raleigh. I'm certainly not the first to say this: THE TRIANGLE NEEDS LIGHT RAIL! Charlotte's new system starts later this month, and we were stiffed on any kind of funding. I doubt it would change their minds, but the feds should try to get from RTP to Raleigh at 5 PM on a weekday, and then tell us how much we're allowed to spend. As for the car, I don't know what to do. Do you?
