It was a very busy day today at work, because I’m taking off tomorrow to attend BlawgThink. So I barely got out in time to get to CivPro, when what happens as I get off the expressway? *Bam* I hear this horrible noise as I go through a busy intersection. I immediately pull over, and I have not one, but *two* count ’em, two flat tires. Both on the passenger side.
Of course, I’m not in the best neighborhood, and I’m immediately approached by a number of gentlemen offering to change my tire–or better yet, they have tires right around the corner, for sale! Yeah, sure. Okay, whatever. And in front of me is a woman who *also* got a flat going through that intersection!! I didn’t see anything in the road, but it sure does make me wonder.
Anyway, I had to wait 1:30 for a tow truck (thanks, AAA!) which is fine, it was in rush hour on the south side of Chicago. As the tow driver was hoisting my poor Volvo onto the flat bed, he says, “Hey, did you notice your rims are bent?” Sure as hell *both* rims are bent, too. Today sucks.
And I missed CivPro. I’m a nerd and I was actually looking forward to Civil Procedure tonight. It was deposition day.
*sigh*
Oh well, tomorrow, live blogging in almost real time from BlawgThink!
Damn that’s some bad luck. And too bad you missed Civ Pro (trying hard not to lol at the idea of looking forward to Civ Pro); glad the Blawg Think is going well though. (And thanks for the plug for “Get on Down …”)
Two flat tires, with bent rims, and someone else had the same? What in the hell was going on in that intersection!? Jeez. That really blows.
