More Eccentricities of Shirl

Help! I'm afraid of my garage!
I've never had a garage in my entire life. Now that I have one, I find that I am afraid of it. Reasons: It smells like a barn (duh, Shirl, the granary is attached to it, what should it smell like?), it has a hole in the upper wall that could allow critters in, it doesn't have electricity so it is DARK when I open the door. However, it IS very solidly built, and it does provide protection in the winter. What to do, what to do.

This is what I do when I get home: I open the door, I shine a spotlight into all the corners, and then I drive in. I leave the door open. Yep, that's right! I leave it open all night. That way, there will be no throwing the door open to find critters staring at me. I'll startle them instead, when I turn my spotlight on them in the morning!

This learning new things is quite exhausting *smile*.
