January in Seattle is glum. It's wet, it's cold, it's dark. It's an especially lousy time of year to get a flat tire and have to pull over into a pawn shop parking lot to deal with the spare.
Grr!
Since my web search on them comes up nil, I'm assuming that dairy no longer exists. Hope they didn't go out of business because of milk crate theft.
I like to think I could do this on my own if I ever had to. If we ever get a flat on a warm summer afternoon, maybe I'll volunteer to try to change the tire.
Beautiful Georgetown. So hip, so happening.

Excellent! At least it happened with someone fun. It usually happens to me when I'm alone (twice in as many years, and twice more a long time ago). And I can never get those frickin lugnuts off. Too tight.
ReplyDeleteYou guys all need AAA. That's three A's, not two. For something like $60 a year, you call them when this happens, or when your battery is dead, plus you get free maps. -- Pat
ReplyDeleteA tire? You need AAA to change a tire? Or get a jump? Good grief. I was taught to do these things as part of the responsibility of having a car. When I was 16!
