Be not a frayed

During the last few months, I noticed strands of wire growing out of my shift lever. (Click on the thumbnail for a bigger view.) I finally remembered to inspect the little bouquet at home tonight, since the fronds were beginning to snag my gloves. There were still about five strands intact, but I replaced the cable anyway because I am such a big believer in preventive maintenance.
