Emergency Repairs

I was supposed to be heading back from the Safe House where I have been debriefing and briefing with every shower yesterday afternoon. A late season snow had already delayed my departure but it soon segued into a chill soaking rain. I don’t exactly travel light so it took me all morning to pack and it was just around noon when I went to start the car. Click.

So on the phone with Triple A who took about an hour to get to the sticks and then another to determine that it wasn’t the battery, probably the starter which means a repair. Even hyper phone efficiency only makes things happen so fast but I found a repair shop and a tow and waved goodbye to my vehicle around 5.

And by hyper efficiency I mean it was ready late this morning but as I was a good distance away from pretty much everything I had to wait for a ride (and then ride) to pick up the car.

$400 lighter I was back at the Safe House but since it was 3 and I hadn’t had breakfast let alone lunch I fixed myself a bite before I sat down to write.

I don’t really have another topic for today so instead you get my tale of woe, and my favorite Talking Heads video, and you should all feel very, very sorry for me.

Really.
