I am not sure if I should be even writing this.
But sometimes strange things happen, and maybe those things should be shared.
Not because they contain any particularly useful information (or they may), but because sometimes things happen for which there is no good explanation.
Some of us think there are some things that may remain a source of wonder.
I promise if someone responds to this with a reasonably good explanation, I will remove this post.
So in the long run no harm may have been done.
It all started when I changed the car battery on my 2003 Honda Accord.
I have two cars.
The Accord is actually the newer one.
But, compared to my prior landlord, I drive new cars.
At one point he and his wife had 3 vehicles between them.
The combined odometer reading of those 3 exceeded 1M miles.
He waited until a vehicle has at least a couple hundred thousand miles on it, then he bought it.
And put several hundred thousand more miles on it.
I am used to changing the car battery every 4–5 years.
I was not terribly surprised when my engine began to start more slowly.
