Genetically modified everything!
Genetically modified EVERYTHING!
We humans are composed with a DNA configuration that has in
it every single existing DNA in the universe.
In our DNA we can find traces of DNA of any species that ever existed in
this earth. We are talking about billions of years. We came from out of space,
as powder, bacteria and virus, and we evolved, not by creating new strings of
DNA, but awaken what we have inherited. As the earth changed so did we. We at
one time lived in the water, and later became animals and now we call ourselves
humans. The major difference between a human and a monkey is the brain
configuration, which is also part of the DNA. The transition from humans to
monkeys did not happen as stated by Darwin, by selective manner. It happened by
simply awaken our DNA to adjust with our environment. The entire configuration
was there and it occurred naturally on earth. We have different eras with
different types of animals living on earth, until we achieved a level of human
beings taking place and many animals vanishing.
As I am writing this post, I know that many species of
animals are vanishing; giving place to other species that can take the heat.
This way life has been. But Darwin forgot that the DNA was there at all times. It was not creating as we grow.
Because the earth is only 4 and half billions years old, we
are where we are by getting here naturally. Therefore it is fair to say that in
an environment earth -like, it would take this much time for us to be where we
are today, naturally.
We are made in the image of God, and for this reason our
brain has achieved the capability of turning us into God-like beings. We could have been animals for another trillion
of years; yet, our DNA would have within it the entire configuration of a
human, yet, not awaken.
When we evolved into Monkeys, there were at least fourteen
species fighting for space. One survived and we called it Homo sapiens. Every
human is called Homo sapiens. The DNA configuration of humans made possible for
mankind to survive in the earth environment, and with the help of God we then
achieved our reasoning, thinking, planning, emotions, and certain feelings we
did not see in animals. We also developed the speech coordination. Homo sapiens developed their brain in size.
This development opened communication with various strings of DNA configuration
necessary to survive, and also to feel sorrow.
We have not found the link between Homo sapiens and monkeys
simply because the brain development came along with spirituality, and it was
given to us by God. Without God we would be animals.
Think for a moment, that the earth having 4.5 billions of
years, we are where we are today. What would it be if the earth had 13 billion
of years?
Knowing that we are the result of star explosions and dust,
and we developed as we did because the earth has been what it has been, giving
space to different species as time went by, we can predict that there are
beings that have developed their brain configuration based on their longevity
as species. So it is fair to say that in the entire universe we have beings
more intelligent, or more developed just by being older than us a few billion
years.
Now, at our age, we are able to study DNA and even pin point
areas of the brain where it is more active. We can easily combine our DNA with
anything that exist and create a different life form. Yes, we can create half a man and half
animal, if it is necessary, but what for? Just understanding that we can do it,
we already passed the point of creating monsters.
Very soon we will live to be looking young forever, but we
will not live forever because whenever we manipulate DNA without understanding
the environment, we are creating short lived beings. It doesn't matter how much
we try to replicate a human being, we will not achieve eternity because it
comes with adapting to different areas. We cannot survive in cold temperature,
unless we are trained since children to accept the cold. The same will be with
anything we modify. It can be good for a short period of time, but there will
be consequences due to the artificiality of the thing. We can modify food and
make them stay fresh for a longer period of time, but at the same time we get
sicker and develop cancer in a faster pace. Unfortunately we are not able to
genetically modify anything by adding DNA( for it is a destruction). We can modify by awakening what we already have. We can alter, or awake certain strings we think
would do the job, but we never know, and never will know if it will be the
secret for eternity. But we can not take the DNA of one animal and inject into another, for we have it all already. We just need to learn how to wake them up.
I believe that most aliens have played this game, and they
arrived where they are today, playing Gods to a vast population that acquired
brains, and inducing them to get a jump start into the new DNA configuration that
will survive it all, but needless to say, they have no idea what needs to be
done.
They are souls who are living forever, and going from one place to another, but never living the darkness. They play Gods to most governmental institution by teaching reverse-engineering, but they cannot bring peace. They refused God - as we are doing it right now!
They are souls who are living forever, and going from one place to another, but never living the darkness. They play Gods to most governmental institution by teaching reverse-engineering, but they cannot bring peace. They refused God - as we are doing it right now!
When we inherited from God our brain capability, it came
with responsibility. One was not to destroy our earth, and respect the
environment. The other was not to kill. We failed on both. Now, without any experience we are already
creating clones, and replicas of people. We are mixing and altering DNA, when
we should only awaken them – We have it within us.
Yes, it is agreeable that we can make dormant a gene
responsible for obesity, but it will shorten a human life to a minimum because
that obesity is already a result of another genetically modified DNA we ate, or
we placed into our system, and it awoke strings that should be sleeping on the first place.
The pharmaceutical industry lives and breathes ‘altering DNA
drugs’ to put into our body. Almost everyone takes pills. We are killing
ourselves by allowing people to alter our lives. We are not using our brain to
better ourselves, but to conquer more and more money – for nothing – once dead,
the money stays here.
Humans are playing with embryos. We are replicating them, and
we are even creating them in labs. We can create them as we can discard them,
without any value for life. We create life, and we destroy it to make one life
better. We have no regard for life, and we were told once that this is our
chance to redeem ourselves, and have eternal life in a paradise where we can be
anything we want, and transform ourselves into anything. We were offered a
place where we find peace and comfort, and ultimately love. But we are being
guided by a malignant force. We became the dormant ones.
The only problem is that we have no idea what we are doing,
and those who are teaching us, have their agenda. If we are receiving help from
extra-terrestrial intelligence, they can consider themselves God to us, but in
reality they are lost souls, who have lost God a long time ago. They go from
place to place in the darkness, in search of whatever they need to survive with
their DNA configuration.
As a DOG thinks that humans are God, we can easily think
they are gods because they have given us for the last 100 years more knowledge than
we have achieved in 2000 years. Yet, it is deceiving. Their agenda is too secretive. They do not appear in the sky every day. They
do not participate in our lives, except by giving us technology, which will
backfire whenever we do not have electricity. And soon we may end up without
electricity.
We have created so much comfort to our body that our DNA is
already changing without us even noticing it. No one can live without TV, or
internet, and water only comes when there is electricity. An elevator only
operates with electricity, and a bank card will have no value when we lose some
of our technology. In other words, we are placing ourselves in their mercy.
I know, it sounds absurd to imagine that Aliens are among
us, but they are. How can we explain this sudden interest in our lives? Why are
they so interested on us? I am sure they have an agenda, as we do when we spend
billions of dollars sending a man to Mars or to the moon. We are looking for
pure gold as they are as well. With Gold we can create anti-gravity machinery
to travel 10 times the speed of light. They will teach us, and soon we will forget
our messenger, Jesus Christ, who came here to lead us into an exit of this
repetition.
In less than one hundred years we have achieved technology we
never imagined existed, and we are soon getting into teleportation, and whatever
else we can get. Meanwhile, we are destroying our rivers, our oceans, and our
atmosphere. We have no regards for human life and we care only about money. We have no idea how to make peace! We want what others have.
Is this a life we are supposed to live?
The biggest sin, so far, humans are doing at this time is
the loss of regard for life. Yes, we are killing left and right, and we are also
killing little children by neglecting those who are alive. We are spending
billions to keep laws anti-abortion, which, we don’t follow. We are a mess!
Since genetically modified food was introduced, we have seen
thousands of cases of diverticulitis in middle aged humans, along with
premature death of infants. We have more deaths from cancer than ever before. Breast
Cancer is in its highest.
I planted an avocado tree to find out that the seed inside
the avocado was not fertile. It was genetically modified and it would not grow
fruit. So, I cared for an avocado tree for seven years to never seen an
avocado. I planted passion fruit, and got only passion flower, for it was
created to be an ornamental tree.
All of these modified seeds come with altering DNA (trigger)
configuration in humans, and unfortunately the only winners are the drug
industry and the hospitals.
Yes, this system of things is a mess. Money is the root of
all evil.
People forgot that they cannot take their money with them
after they die, and those who inherit it, will be poor of spirit.

God’s presence as a mechanic at Advance Auto Repair in Gainesville, FL. 32641
Unforgettable Trip – With God’s presence as a mechanic at Advance Auto Repair in Gainesville, FL. 32641
Jack and I took a trip to Alabama in January 2015 to visit
his mother, who had just lost her husband of 17 years of cancer. We couldn't
make to the funeral.
We left Florida on Friday January 2nd, 2015 at
7PM. We drove on Interstate (I- 95) from Lake Worth to Jacksonville (going
north). In Jacksonville we took I-10 going west to Lake City, FL, and then, we
took I-75 going to Atlanta, GA. and from there we reached Alabama. We took this
route because we were avoiding going through Montgomery. Once you enter
Montgomery, it is not as easy to get out. Our Destination was Ethelsville, AL.
We left Florida and the temperature was 76 degrees
Fahrenheit. As we approached Daytona Beach, the temperature decreased at least
20 degrees. The visibility was clear, until the out-side air condensation mixed
with oil-and-pollution created a blurry windshield. We turned the wipers on, to
realize that we did not have any fluid. We stopped at a rest area and cleaned
the windshield with Windex, but the smog had penetrated into the glass, for
some reason. Once we passed that area of approximately 20 miles, the windshield
became clear, as if nothing had ever happened. We had passed into a zone of
high concentration of chemicals. I don’t see any other explanation. I don’t
know what made it get clear either.
By 4:00AM we arrived in Atlanta. , it started to rain.
Actually, it started to pour water from the sky, and we were happy to be there
in a short time. The roads were not crowded. But all of a sudden the driver
side windshield wiper started to fail, leaving dry pieces of rubber on the
glass. It was impossible to see, and we slowed down the car to 40 miles per
hour and turned the emergency lights on, and we took the first exit into some
area of Atlanta. We drove extremely slowly, and we stopped at a gas station but
no one had wipers. There Jack asked where he could find a Walmart and by 5:30AM
we got the correct pair. It had instructions and Jack replaced them. We watched
a “How to install a complete Windshield wipers’ video, on Google using my cell
phone, and immediately, the battery went dead. It was 34 Degrees, and our heater was not
working properly either. We never used heather in Florida, so it was never
turned on before. Until then, the temperature inside the car was good, but at
this time, it was impossible to be outside. We kept the doors open while Jack
was coming back and forth, putting the pieces together. It was very cold, and the wind and the rain
made it almost unbearable to do the job. I still don’t know how Jack replaced
it in weather like that, without any gloves or raincoat.
By 6:00AM we were out of Atlanta and heading towards
Birmingham. The windshield wipers on all the time and Jack took charge of the
steering wheel. By 11AM on Saturday we made it there. We spend the entire week
eating, visiting family members, sleeping, reading and watching TV. It was very
cold in Alabama, and the temperature went down to 11 Degrees.
We have a Jaguar X model 2003 with 124K miles. It has been a
very good car most of the time, but somehow expensive to repair. We had spent
at least $4K in repairs in 2013-2014, including oil changes and tires, brakes,
etc. We will keep this car forever. On
this particular trip I sensed that both incidents happened while I was driving.
The first one being the fog and oil mist, where I complained not being able to
see the Interstate, and the second one being the time when the windshield wiper
went bad. We both drive one full tank (supposedly) and change places at the gas
station. I didn’t get to finish one whole tank, and we got into problems. Needless
to say, Jack drove most of the time. I could not sleep in the car, although I
was very tired, I kept myself awake, imagining that if I fall sleep Jack would
do it to, and we would get into an accident. So, I kept my eyes on the road, as
if our lives depended on it. I have a tendency of talking with my car. Not the
way we talk with an animal, but I say, come on, let’s make it, or things like
that. I never talked about my feeling
that the car goes bad when I drive. I did not have to.
On our way back,
it was 18 Degrees when we left Alabama, and by the time we were eating lunch
outside of Valdosta, GA on I-75, the temperature was 39 Degrees. It was
comfortable inside the car, and the sun made it very warm. It was my turn to
drive. I drove pass Valdosta around 150 miles and when we were 2 miles shy of
the intersection with I-10, (Lake City, FL), the temperature reaches the red
light alarm. I changed lanes and stopped on the highway I-75 around 3:25 PM on
Friday, January 9th, 2015.
Luckily we had some Anti-Freeze in the trunk along with
Octane booster and other car stuff. We waited a few minutes for the car to get
colder and we opened the small tank to complete it. We realized that some
liquid had escaped when I had stopped. I guess, the temperature had reached its
limit, and it busted something underneath.
Jack filled up the tank with anti-freeze and we get back on
I-75, with me still driving. We just got
400 feet down the road, the temperature gauge goes red again, and we stopped one
more time. Once the car got cold we idle half a mile and got closer to the
intersection. There were some men working on the road, cutting trees and doing
some landscaping half a mile away, and I walked towards them, while Jack was
waiting for the car to get cold again. Meanwhile
the Interstate was busy, with trucks changing lanes to stay away from our
vehicle. We were scared to stay in front of the car while with an open hood. I
asked one of the working men if they had water. No! I asked where the next rest
area was, and he said 2 miles away on I-10 West. They did not have water. We
wanted water to complete the tank. We were decided to idle for 2 miles and get
to the rest area and get some water. As we went along one mile south, we see
another man working, and it was time again to stop the car. He said they had
water where his crew was working, and we walked over there, abandoning the car on
the Highway. There we filled up our anti-freeze container with water and as we
were returning to the car, I asked them what could cause the car engine to go
hot. He said it was lack of water, or a rose got busted or the Water Pump.
We decide to get on the road and the temperature problem
remained. We got into the rest area, west bound on I-10 mile 291, but we did
not need any more water. It did not have any busted rose. We then concluded
that we needed a water pump. At the resting area we both need to recharge our
telephones. Jack found a plug behind the Soda Machine and placed the cell phone
on top of it. We waited! I read the manual, and opened it into the overheat
section. One interesting thing it said, which made us more relaxed, was that if
you are driving with high speed, and you stop suddenly, it can cause the engine
to overheat. In this case, you have to turn the car off until it cools down. It
also tells you to turn on the AC on a recycling mode. We did just that, and let
the car running for at least 10 minutes and the temperature was normal. Jack
gets the phone from the plug, and asked a worker where the next exit was, so we
could make a U-Turn.
On the road we go, I am driving still. We see that there is
another resting area on the East bound. We also see a sign Exit 292 in 2
miles.
As we get into the exit lane, the engine started all over
again. We had driven 2 miles, and we are now 4 miles away from the east bound
rest area, on mile 296 on I-10. We are stuck! After it cooled off again, this
time, we exchanged places, and Jack said we would make these four miles to the
next rest area because we could not stay where we were, and we would idle the
car until we get there. We had agreed
that we needed towing service, and we started calling to triple A. Meanwhile
the car gets cold again and Jack gets the car at the rest area in one only
maneuver. My phone went dead again, for it had so many messages, and too many
Facebook updates, along with other updates not necessary. I connect myself with
the soda machine plug, and Jack was talking with Triple A, and getting his
membership up-dated. I was talking to a mechanic in Lake City, 20 miles away
from the exit who asked me for $120 dollars for towing. The mechanic said that
he was not contracted by Triple A. I told him that I would contact him in a few
minutes. It was 4:40 PM and they would close at 5:00PM and reopen on Monday. I
forgot to ask if he could change a water pump on a jaguar, or if he had the
part. I just wanted the car out of the road. Triple A. service desk located a
mechanic in Lake City, but they were not Jaguar specialist. Jack was not sure
if he wanted the car to be towed to Lake City, considering that it was a small
town with 12K people, it may not have a jaguar mechanic. We did not see many
jaguars in that area. Jack was thinking more like Jacksonville, but the Triple
A lady said that they all close at 5:00 PM on Friday. The towing truck was on
its way to rescue us. We just did not know to “where”.
Jack located a Mechanic in Gainesville Florida who was open
24 hours. When he placed the call, the mechanic said that they would close at
5:30 that evening and reopen on Monday. Jack tells him his situation and what
the problem was. The mechanic gave him a number of another mechanic ( Advance
Auto Repairs 352-372-3294) who could work on the car, but he was going to
contact him (himself) now and see if he was willing to let a guy stay late to
fix our car and, if the part was available. They exchanged numbers, and Jack’s
telephone went dead. He run to the Soda Machine to recharge it. There he
received the call that the part was available and the mechanic was going to
stay there over time for us.
Jack then called the place and spoke with a Lady. She was
very attentions on the phone and placed the call on hold while she would get a
technician to listen to the problem.
On the line came Lorne, who identify himself and wanted to
know what the problem was. He listened to Jack’s explanation and agreed that it
could be the pump. He assured Jack that he would be waiting for us to get
there, and the part will be there.
Jack decided then that he was going to take the car to
Gainesville. FL.
We were one hour away from Gainesville, or 65 miles. We then
decided that we would tow the car to Gainesville because it was closer to home,
and because there was a mechanic willing to work on it tonight.
The Towing man – Adam, was
happier that we had a longer distance to tow. He called his dispatcher and
re-routed the trip. We were going to Gainesville, 42 miles away. Inside the
truck we listened to Adam and his conclusion that it must have been the water
pump. When we got into Gainesville, Adam finds a different direction to get to
our destination. He claimed to have lived in Gainesville and knew exactly where
we were heading to. It made us less tense, but it went away when he did not
make the same turn as the GPS had instructed. He claimed that the GPS was
sending him to a longer distance. He called the mechanic and said where he was.
It took less than 3 minutes for him to get us to our destination. Advance Auto
Repair. Address: 1224 East
University Avenue, Gainesville, FL 3264Phone:(352) 372-3294
Once we arrived, we
were scared. We saw a place with more than 15 cars on the parking lot. The name
on the side of the building was not clear. There was a convenient store across
street, where the towing driver parked the truck, and demanded his fees in cash
before he could release the car. He asked me to stay inside the truck while he
was going to unload the car. Meanwhile, Jack was inside the store trying to get
money, but the machine only released $200 each time. While there, Jack was
approached by some loiters who asked him for money. I was inside the truck,
with my phone on the charger. I thought about Jack, and where he was. I left the
truck and went to the store, and Jack was outside with his money in his pocket.
“Jack where are we”? I said while looking at people’s face.
“I don’t know”.
The car is at this
point off the towing truck. A gentleman
approached me and told me to drive the car into a spot he had opened for us.
Jack paid the towing company and I showed Jack where he was supposed to park
the car. The total paid was $240 plus $10 tip. ($4 per mile). At this time Adam is preparing his documents,
and we are outside, by the car waiting for the mechanic - Lorne. There were
many people walking on streets. It was a busy area. It was 7:15 PM. We only had
a Junior whopper from Burger King in Valdosta.
We say hello to the mechanic, and he send us inside the
office. There we meet his wife who was glad we made it there. She asked for
documentation to do her paper work, and Jack complied. In a few minutes we both
went back to where the mechanic was, and he says:
“Look over here” He said: “You don’t need a pump. I have it
here, but the problem is the tension pulley and the belt that is connected to
the outside of the pump.” We saw it together.
One minute later he says that his wife has located the pulley and the
belt, and they were ordering it.
At this time we had no idea what to think anymore. We were
scared. We were in a different area. It was Friday night. We had not eaten.
I said nothing! I was watching, and Jack talked with the
mechanic. The mechanic explained that he had seen that type of problem with
Jaguars before, and he had recently replaced the same part. Jack felt good
about him, for some reason. It was cold. We both went inside to wait for the
part to arrive.
About half an hour later the mechanic approached us.
“We have bad news! We received the part, but my wife ordered
a different pulley. She ordered the one that goes on the passenger side of the
car, and it is not connected to the pump. She is now trying to find the right
part.”
At this time our energy went away. I felt frustrated. I
asked Jack what was going on here. Jack told me to stay calm. He sensed
something different with the man, and that he was telling the truth. “I just
felt that I can trust him, Milton”.
“OK Jack, if you say it so. I feel better then.”
We went inside and the wife said… “It was going too smoothly
to be true, but I will try to find the right part for you here”.
We exchanged looks, and Jack said… “When it rains it pours.”
Inside, Jack called his sister and reported where we were.
He gave the phone number and the mailing address. He just said – It is bad!
I decided to have a cigarette outside, therefore I walked to
the street to get familiar with the area and see if there were any hotels we
could spend the night. The area was busy with people walking everywhere. There
were at least five different car parts’ stores nearby. For a moment I thought
about entering one of them, but I soon gave up the idea. I was certain that we
would go to a hotel. Not so sure if we would stay until Monday or Tuesday
waiting for the car to be fixed. While walking I was approached by a gentleman
who seemed to be very polite. He said Hello and gave me a hug, and told me that
he had just got out of prison… and before he could finish, I said:
“I am sorry, but I have no money with me. My friend has
money, but I don’t. I just have a card.”
He walked away from me in direction to another store nearby.
I then decided to go back to the mechanic. It was cold to be outside smoking. I
put my cigarette out, but it was still on my hands. I did not want to put on
the street. I walked in and made sure it was out. The mechanic was walking on
my direction, and Jack was on the phone with his father.
He looked at me and said:
“I just found a part that has a different part number but
seems to be the exact part I need. I am just going to try and see if it will do
the job”.
“I will keep my finger crossed.” I said while placing my
cigarette in the trashcan. He went towards the car and I went inside where Jack
was charging his phone.
Jacks face was like mine, filled with fear. We talked about
hotels and if we would leave our car here or if we would idle the car to the
nearest hotel. We concluded that we would take the car with us. We never mentioned, but our car door locks
was malfunctioning.
“Jack, I just heard that he found a part that could work, He
is trying to see if it does. Don’t go there now. Please. Let him do the work
first.”
Jack looked at me and his face changed – he got a glimpse of
hope.
“Go Jack, go there.” I said to Jack … “He told me while you
were talking with your father, but I did not want to tell you right away
because I wanted to pray a little.”
“I have been praying since we got here”. Jack said.
We both went outside together, and as we got there, the
mechanic had a smile on his face. He said… “Crank it now!”
Jack turned the ignition to see the car starting. The
mechanic opened the anti-freeze tank and placed water, showing us:
“Look over here” He said. “If there is no bubbles coming out
it is a good sign”.
Then he said that by the sound of the car, we needed to
replace the coils of the cylinders, which makes the car hesitate when we drive.
Just by listening to the engine, he
diagnosed a problem we are having for the last couple of years. Our car has
some hesitation when it changes gears. We had two different places looking at
it, and both places did some cleaning that resolved it for a short while. The
problem was back in no time.
The Mechanic advised us to order the coils – all six of them
– and replace them all. Do not replace one and leave the other.
“Your car is ready to go. You will not have problems with
this.”
“Wow, Thank you, it is working.” Said Jack.
By now we knew that his name was Lorne and that he operates
the shop with his wife. Looking at some
reviews I found one that says it all.
“Lorne and his wife run
a family business in an underserved side of our town. They primarily serve the
African American community here in Gainesville, but provide the same honest,
thoughtful service to anyone who goes to their shop. Lorne rehabilitates
ex-convicts at his shop, giving them an opportunity to learn skills and get a
new lease on life. This being said, I have never once felt uncomfortable at his
shop. He works on any make and model, but specializes in British and Japanese
cars. Lovely people, super friendly, I cannot recommend them enough!!
“Your car is ready to go. You will not have problems with
this.” Said Lorne again.
Jack was perplexed. How could we ever get our car on the
road on Friday night after having mechanical problems? How could we have it
fixed while on the road? How did we find this place? How did we find this
gentleman with such a serene face and attitude? He walks on his lot with a
serene face, and he talks to you with all honesty. Only later on I understood
the experience Jack had with him, and I could then understand why Jack decided
to have it towed 65 miles to Gainesville, with so many other cities closer.
We went inside to pay the bill and it was $195. Jack gave
them a $60 tip while I was not looking. She refused to take the tip, but Jack
insisted by saying that we are happy they fixed it. She said no again and Jack
insisted that she have dinner on us. I only saw a folded $20, but I knew Jack
would give more.
We left our phone inside the store, and we returned five
minutes later to get it.
The rest of our trip was fantastic. The temperature outside
was 43 Degrees and it was only 8:23 PM. The heather started working when we
left the shop. It made us more astonished.
Jack then told me that his father had called because his
sister must have told him. When we were on the road Jack gets a call from yet,
another sister who heard about our mishap. She was fascinated by the story Jack
told. Jack promised to never judge a book by its cover ever again. They talked
for a while and she asked for the address to send them a thank you card on our
behalf.
We were happy to be on the road. Imagine staying 3 days in
Gainesville waiting for a part to be ordered from a Jaguar dealer. How much
would it cost for hotels, food and car repairs? Or staying in Lake City FL,
where they do not have any place open during the weekends.
We were blessed, and we found a place that was blessed as we
were. We did not complain about anything
because it could have been worse. We could have had an accident or something
major. We were content and we felt the presence of the divine in our lives. We arrived home at 12:30 AM on Saturday
January 10th 2015.
We conclude that it was neither my driving nor my speed that
caused the part to go bad. It was an old part and it went through cold and hot
in a short period of time. As far as the other problems, it was time to replace
the wipers. They were past due.
I have not proof red this post, but I will, eventually.
Glad to be here – Milton Laene Araujo
