Joe Duggan was going to share the driving with me on a long trip, like from an East Coast city to my hometown.  It was night, and he stopped at a garage to have something checked.  I guess I went somewhere else for a while, because I remember coming back and hoping the car was ready to go.  Instead, he said that the car had a rear wheel bearing that was on the verge of breaking, and they didn't know if they had the part to fix it that night.  I was disappointed.  The guy who drove it into the garage seemed to suddenly remember the possibility that they did have the part after all, but I don't remember what came of it.    Not clear whether this was part of the same dream or another dream.  Again I was in my car, but this time with my wife Bonita and my daughter Christina.  We had stopped for gas, and I had gone into the restroom.  When I urinated, it came out horizontally and hit a door or something.  Before I finished, I was absentmindedly standing in front of an open door still doing it before noticing what I was doing.  Before I returned to the car I ran into a guy with a slight Spanish accent who asked me if I was a Democrat.  I said yes, and he asked me if we had left a light on in our apartment.  He pointed to one burning in the apartment complex behind us.  I told him it wasn't ours.  These apartments were like the ones Bonita and I lived in when we were first married, except that the ones where the light was burning were painted solid white, and the row between us and them were pale green.  I wondered what this light had to do with whether I was a Democrat.  I decided he had just recognized me from having seen me at a Democratic meeting of some kind which it seemed I had attended earlier.  Still, it seemed an odd way to bring up the subject.    When we got back to the car, I had Christina with me, and Bonita thanked me for taking her to the bathroom with me, changing her diapers, or whatever I did.  We put her in the back seat and started out again.  Then I realized that I hadn't strapped her in, and we had to stop and do that.  I was frustrated, because it seemed we had had several delays already, and since we were going on a long trip (to my hometown, I think), it seemed it was going to take us three or four days instead of one.
