At the car wash

Everybody has been driving around with icky cars, encrusted with grime and chalky road salt from the snow. So not surprisingly, the Mr. Wizard car wash in Kennett was the place to see and be seen this week. I drove by on Friday afternoon, when the temperature soared into the mid-30s, and the line of cars stretched out along Mill Road past the RiteAid drugstore, all the way up the block to the traffic light at State Street. And apparently the place was just as busy on the two preceding days as well.
Commented one reader: "Meant to get there today but did not make it. So funny, pulled up at UHS yesterday afternoon and several cars in front of me had the plastic sleeves on their rear wipers, and very clean cars, lol!"
Another friend decided to get her car washed before the cold snap broke. On one of those single-digit days, she took her car through the car wash at lunchtime and went back to work, parking in the Kennett parking garage. At the end of the day she was dismayed to find that the small amount of water left over from the car wash had frozen her car doors closed. She managed to get in, but got seriously razzed by her workmates. Honestly, it wouldn't have occurred to me, either!
