Anger!

Yesterday I went out to my car around midday and discovered that one of the tires was flat. Curses!

So I called AAA and they came and put on the tiny emergency tire that is in my trunk. Hurrah!

But they mentioned that one of the lug nuts was missing from that particular tire. Drat!

So I took the car to the tire warehouse today and explained the situation, and they gave me a new tire. Yay!

However, I noticed a little while ago that I'm still minus a lug nut. What the hell?

The end. Or is it?

Now I go to watch a Swedish movie.

Incidentally, the AAA guy asked me if I had driven over any potholes lately. It is to laugh!

I asked him if he had been getting a lot of calls like this recently. Apparently, this was to laugh also!

Having gotten my own flat tire replaced, I finally got around to getting my car into the shop for its vastly overdue tune-up (and to get a broken headlight replaced).

There is a mind-boggling array of things wrong with that car, and I do not think they are lying because I already suspected most of them. Oh, well, I hope that when I get it back, it drives better and doesn't rattle and squeak and try to shake to pieces when you brake.

Hey, I just returned that movie to netflix a few weeks ago. If you see a mustard stain on the envelope then it's the one I had while eating a sandwich.

There's a web site that tracks dollar bills (Wheresgeorge.com or something). Maybe I could start a similar web site for Netflix movies. But that would mean I have no life, and that would be sad.

The first duty of a doctor is: eat no mustard!

I don't see any stains on the sleeve, so I guess I got a different one. I seem to get all my Netflix mailings from Worcester.

actually shows up?

The one time I called them for a jump-start, the garage across the street claimed that the street hadn't been plowed and they couldn't get out, and I wound up walking a mile in the snow to a friend's house to sleep--and walking a mile back in the morning because they refused to provide a ride to my car.
