blowout

Hi,

I hate unexpected emergencies.

I took a corner badly today and rammed my tire against the curb. When I got out to check, the tire had a bulge in the sidewall. That didn't look promising, but there was a tire place across the street. So we go over and they agree that it's probably not a good idea to try and drive back to Boston on it.

Luckily, they actually had a tire that would fit my car. I've got these ridiculous odd-sized tires and was afraid no place would have them on hand. But they had them. They were expensive (see, odd-size, hard-to-get sentence previous), but they were there and the tire was fixed in an hour and I feel better about driving home tomorrow.

It just sucks is all.

:(

Ooof. It does suck, and I'm sorry you had to deal with it. Glad it's over, and so glad that if it had to happen, it happened across the road from the tire place.
