(no subject)
I'm fairly certain that the month of September is waging war on me, or at least my cars. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but whatever the hell is going on just isn't natural.
My parents had been in Cap Cod visiting my sister (Mom just got back, Dad's still there), so I'd been driving my mom's car while she was gone, which actually worked out because it gave me a little time before I have to get a new car. Well, I had to go out to our Naperville office to do some work, and just as I'm getting there, the engine started making unpleasant noises. I made it to the parking garage, but the car was no longer drivable. I had it towed back here only to find out that it's not worth repairing. So now we're down to one car for the three of us. All I can do now is wonder how I've offended the car gods so...
At least the ride in the tow truck wasn't boring. The driver had some interesting stories; not always pleasant, but at least they kept the ride from being dull. I'll post on them a little later.
