Laura's 1996 Toyota Paseo is getting its windshield replaced today. I shall be closing my office at noon and scurrying home to meet with installers from Mike's Mobile Windshield at our house. Tomorrow morning, we shall take the Paseo to the car wash and thoroughly clean it. Tomorrow afternoon, a potential buyer is coming from Redding (an hour north of here) to inspect the Paseo and, hopefully, determine that it is precisely that which he seeks.
