I was just coming out of Herkle’s
Auto Parts when Buck Pincher barged
in. He looked distraught.

“Slim! Am { glad to see you! he exclaimed,
grabbing me by the arm. “It’s almost
Christmas, an’ T ain't got nothin’ for the old
girl yet. She’s been so faithtid all these years, 3
Just gotta get her somethin’.”

Twas touched by Buck’s sudden thoughtful-
ness for his wife. “That's great, Buck! But are
you sure an auto parts store is the right place to
buy a present for Dolly?”

“uck looked at me as if I'd lost my marbles.
“TD Aly? Whatcha calkin’ about? I already
t--aght her my annual tin of bonbons.” He
lowered his voice. “I’m referring to Old Betsy,
my car.” He rolled his eyes. “Sheesh, d’ya think
I'm nus, or somethin’?”

dilemma. “You know, vou still have a few weeks
to go. Why are you in such a panic?”

“Oh, you can’t put these things off *tl the
last minute, Slim,” he admonished, wagging his
finger in my face. “It requires a lot of thought
and planning to get just the right thing. And
besides, if you wait too long, the sales racks are
all picked over. I oughta know.”

I had to agree with him there. Picked-over
sales racks were Buck Pincher’s specialty. “How
about one of those electric battery blankets to
keep the battery warm?” [ suggested.

He was dubious. “A blanky? Sounds kinda
mushy to me. I think Old Betsy’s kinda past
that stage.”

{ thought some more. “Or new wiper
blades. Yours have been chattering for months.”

“They still work...sort of,” Ruck protested.
He was getting impatient. “Look, you're no
help. 1 think I'll just wander "round and see
what Herk’s got on special.”
