Yokohama, AAA, and the usual catastrophe

Basic Tuesday fare: shrilled into consciousness by a couple of alarm clocks (who invented those? Sadists, no doubt), classes, libraries, things to read, skim, "learn," etc. Excellent debate re: Harlem Renaissance early in the evening. Drive home (thankfully a ridiculously short trip) and realize things are not as they should be, vehicle-wise.

Rear passenger tire has apparently given up on life and committed some sort of hara-kiri. Beyond flat. Such a joy on a snowy winter's night with the raging temperatures sinking somewhere below 10-15 degrees fahrenheit (sp?).

Oh, and I (quite) obviously don't know how to change a tire myself. Thus AAA is summoned.

Here I play the part of Damsel in Distress.

Decide that despite late evening hour and hostile weather, should not put off calling until morning when undoubtedly every poor soul in Indy is begging to have their frost-ridden batteries jumped before the morning commute. Thus, Aaron pleasantly dispatches a rescue. Pretty routine for me, considering the horrific karma (which I half-jokingly have taken to spelling with a "c") that surrounds my poor automobile.

Tire eventually fixed, though some "genius" German engineering makes said spare replacement as tedious as possible. Sent my Knight In Shining Armour (read: man in full firefighter suit driving white AAA truck) off with a handful of cash tip and the instructions to get himself some hot cocoa at the Starbucks down the block. Do not wish bad carma to begin affecting me personally.

Next dilemna? Finding local retailer that sells my particular style of Yokohama tire. A thrilling enterprise to be undertaken tomorrow morning, of course. Just another day in the life...
