I'm glad to hear about Bobbi, mood improving, sorry to hear about money. I think technology requires periodic sacrifice. Like the ancient gods... From Wikipedia, with my annotations...
Gods need sacrifice to sustain themselves and their power. Cars need gas, oil, timing belts, electrical repairs... Or they get bitchy... Sacrificed goods are used to make a bargain with the god, who has promised some favour in return for the sacrifice. Cars may decide to start, and even carry you places, if they are otherwise kept properly appeased. Sacrifice deprives the followers of food and other useful commodities, and as such constitutes an ascetic discipline. Yep... Eating, Driving... decisions, decisions...
