$%#@!

I got a flat tire on the way into tennis this morning; the coldest of the year (-9F).
To make matters worse, the chintzy jack buckled when the car slid forward and I couldn't get it to work properly. Fortunately, a good Samaritan came by and offered to lend me his jack. Needless to say, I was a few minutes late to tennis.

When I got home, I noticed that my wife's car also had a flat!

I guess better to learn this now than later today when they forecast up to 30" of snow and blizzard conditions.

I hadn't anticipated spending my day getting tires repaired.
