The final step of the vacation takes place today, and that’s the oil change. I’ll need an alignment, too. I found out how Texas roads are numbers: if it’s Highway 285, that’s how many potholes they have per mile. 
All part of living, and here’s another song with “live” in the title.
I’ve Lived a Lot in My Time - Jim Reeves
First, Linda? NO!!!! And second, NJ Chic? Here’s the guy you keep “noping,” so I know by now you’ve heard of him!
And hey, wasn’t he just on last month’s list? Yes! I told you he’s my favorite singer. And while my buddy Deke Dickerson did a rockabilly version of this song on one of his albums, there’s no way I’m skipping a chance to use a Jim Reeves song. 
This is a pretty spot-on description of life (“I once had a mansion and lived in my glory but now I’m down to my last dime”) and how things change over the years.
I’ve Lived a Lot in My Time
Written by Jim Reeves, Dick Reynolds, and Jack Rhodes
Recorded by Jim Reeves
From According to My Heart, 1960
Once thought that everything was fine:

Getting your oil change and alignment done is crucial for your vehicle's maintenance. It's interesting to learn about the numbering system for Texas roads.
I love this song.

It’s a joke about the roads. No joke about keeping the car in good condition. That’s how you go ten years between car payments!

Let me put it this way: I called Ripley and they said “I don’t believe it.”

That makes perfect sense to me. There are things I have to be “in the mood” to listen to!

It’ll make you think twice when you enter Texas on I-10 and see the mileage sign telling you it’s 890 miles to El Paso.

I think “Albuquerque” is from the Pima Indian word meaning “land of potholes.”

I like Jim Reeves enough for five people, so that’s okay.
