ABS (BAS) light on

My 2003 slk 320 with 150k miles has recently started displaying the light for the ABS system. Once while I (65F) was driving on the freeway the right side brakes went on and I got spooked. The car veered right and I was afraid the car behind me would hit me because my speed decreased suddenly. I drove home slowly, and took the car to my amazing mechanic, who found a lot of rain water pooling somewhere in the car --since I park it outside--and redid the wiring which was rusty and old.
A month after fixing it--I was charged for 6 hrs of work-$$$), the light comes on again, not right when I start but later during my drive. I have not had any more problems (so far) with the breaks being activated, but I took the car back to the shop where it has been for the past week. No news from my mechanic so far. I wonder if anyone has an idea of what might be going on, or what I am supposed to discuss with the mechanic.
Thank you for any advice!

Everything pink

I am ecstatic at having found this sub almost one year ago. My grandma's 50 year old linen sheets have turned white again, and crispy. So did my white shirts and tops.
Unfortunately about 6 months ago I dyed something red, and rinsed it in my washing machine, a Bosch front-loading. In spite of all the I have done, my whites still turn a shade of pink after all this time, and I am completely frustrated. My Spa efforts are now pointless! I have used the Drum Clean program, did a wash with vinegar because someone said there might be some mold that is holding on to the color, I use those color catch sheets in every wash, and yet the pink keeps happening.
Does anyone have an idea of how to resolve this issue?
