Friday, June 27, 2003 This being a BLOG and all...
For dinner yesterday I had warm Sprite, which was the only comestible in my car. For parking, you can't beat I-95, especially around the Ft. McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore. And the Wilson Bridge in DC. Inexplicable delays right around the stankin'est part of the New Jersey Turnpike also allow ample parking oppourtunities with easy walking access to sinister silos full of stink-gas.
My car had its tire for dinner. We were driving along (finally), when right around the last of teh scary government towns in Northern Virginia, the car starts to shake and make a distinctive "whomp, whomp, whomp" sound. We checked, and none of the tires were flat. So we drove to a gas station and put air in them anyway. That was my plan. I came up with it all by myself and was adamant about sticking to it, because I couldn't figure out what else to do. My firm stance and creative thinking prompted the mate to refer to me as "the Rommel of the car." I don't think that wasvery fair, especially since my plan totally didn't work, and I needed positive encouragement, rather than comparisons with Nazis.
We kept going slow (Truckers love that, by the way), until the whomping got worse and the back tire started smoking.
Then my car got to go on a tow truck ride. Now it is parked conveniently at the mechanics.
This being a BLOG and all, I will tell you what my car will have for dinner: more of my goddamn money. posted by Frenz | 6/27/2003 09:30:00 AM
