Alignment
On my way back from Big City airport, my car felt a little off. Like it was out of alignment or something. I drove carefully, and then upon coming back to the Hamlet, promptly forgot about my car woes and decided that I had been imagining things. On Monday, after work, after locating my car in the garage (ha! only took me 5 minutes this time!) I noticed that the front left tire was completely FLAT! whoah. a wonder I made it home!!
15 dollars and a few smiles later, the tire was pumped and ready to go. The fellows at Big Tires were missing about 3 teeth each, but they seemed to be kind souls indeed. Fixed my tire in about 5 minutes, and off I drove, into the MidWestern Sunset.
well...not quite. To the grocery store, but with a newly aligned 97 Honda Hatchback Civic DX (navy, slightly dented, sweetsweetcar), it felt as good as driving into the sunset!
Small thrills in el Hamleto:)
Movie update: watched a great documentary Rivers and Tides (or is it Tides and Rivers?) about ephemeral nature-art. Loved it. Same director who did that stunning doc about Evelyn Glennie, Touch the Sound. While in the land of Sun and Alligators, I saw Children of Men with the Friendly Greek. I surprised myself by really enjoying it! Too much violence at the end (for my dainty taste), but I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Michael Caine is a genius, I've decided. Clive Owen is a cutie, and I really really want to look like Julianne Moore when I too reach a certain age. [ah, the profound things i think while watching movies!]
