Ahava Auto

Note: I wrote most of this last fall and then finished the story tonight. “Screeeeeech… screeeeech!”  That is the noise of my frustration coming from somewhere around the front wheels of my car. “Grrrr” is the noise coming from me.  Resisting the urge to pull over and exercise my kicking skills against the car, I turn into the parking
