Amazingly enough Maricel can ride the bus...

And get an ID and and buy a cell phone. Who knew? She just got an Ohio ID, she wanted to study the driver's manual and make sure she's familiar with American Road rules. She hasn't driven much in the past few years. I promised I'd take her tooling around some of my favorite empty parking lots and back streets once she had her temps in hand.
"Do I get a present when I pass the test?" She asked.
"You got my Catwoman statue, what the hell else do you want?"
She made a rather interesting suggestion. I said I'd do that anyway. "How about flowers, I'll get you some flowers."
"That would be nice." She said. "Candy, too."
"I know where you can get a good used car." I said.
"I need to get a job first." She said. "I don't think I'd be able to teach at a public school because you can't just transfer certifications. But I might be able to substitute teach or work at a private or charter school."
"Been doing a little research?" I asked.
"Well, I might have made some inquiries before I went to Vegas." She said.
"Got any job interviews lined up?" I asked.
"I'm taking a test at a temporary agency that supplies substitute teachers tomorrow." She said.
"When you get your license you can use my car if you want." I said. "I never go anywhere during the day."
"I have enough cash to get a used car." She said.
"You have one picked out?" I laughed.
"Just checked the prices in general online." She said. "I'm not expecting you to support me and drive me around."
"So it's just the hot bod, you're after?"
"Pretty much." Maricel said.
