Do-it-yourself isn't what it used to be


Posted at 12:01 am by Mark Carlson,

Top dead center: In tight times, car owners who do their own maintenance and repairs can save even more cash by shopping at salvage yards such as Covey's Auto Parts in Marysville.

The Buzz is all for doing it yourself, but we're confused: Just how does one set the points on a 2008 Subaru?

Perhaps the reborn Chrysler Corp. will bring back the Slant Six. Our feeler gauge is ready.

Span gets attention: Camano Island folks can get the scoop today on the new bridge linking the island with the mainland.

As with the old bridge, the new span will be named in honor of Gen. Mark Clark, who led United Nations forces during the Korean War and who owned property on Camano (he wound up retiring in South Carolina, instead).

Let's just hope construction traffic doesn't call for a general to sort things out.

Kid lit: Here's a literary genre you probably weren't aware of: children's books written by celebrities.

One new celeb kid book was written by comedian Jeff Foxworthy. It's called "You Might Be a Redneck if There's a Confederate Flag Sticker on Your Big Wheel."
