I unavoidably ran over something large this morning, had a catastrophic blow-out in the rear tire, and just now I am looking at a receipt for nearly $700 in new tires.
Funny thing though, last night I dreamed about buying tires... (the old ones were getting rather slick)
No snow in the south, though!
[Paitiently waiting for wisecracks about God's foreknowledge about today's posting antics and predestining the tire blow-out.]
You said it better than we ever could have.... :)
