i just left to go to the beach and lauren, backing out of my house, hit the mail box.the mailbox then proceeded to EXPLODE! cinderblocks and dust and concrete and paint went everywhere. she wasnt going very fast, so im not sure i quite understand it. i mean, the mailbox quite literally blew up. seriously. so lauren and i are tossing cinderblocks onto my lawn, brushing up the rubble and debris, and generally making asses of ourselves. we then recreate a mailbox from the ruins and it is a beautiful art deco masterpiece. i will post pictures (if i can) later. so, victorious with our conquest of the rules of velocity and gravity, we leave for the beach. laurens car goes TUCKATUCKATUCKATUCKA. we go "shut up, car." and the situation is ignored. And we're driving and driving and driving and we realize thta the speedometer isnt working, nor the RPM-odemeter. nor the gas-ometer. so lauren IGNORES this, and we continue on our quest. however, the quest had chanegd form beach to omgogomgomgomglaurenshouseomgomgomg. we failed in our quest. we halfway to a stopsign on maguire and then the car kind of....yeah it just stopped. i, in my manly glory, pushed the car to the entrance of a neighborhood and it was there we waited "within the hour!" for damn AAA.(i almost wrote triple a.)Anyway. so we wait an hour and a half for towtruck man to come, and he finally comes and the day is saved. man-michelle almost thought she had to push the car up a very steep ramp, but the was just a trick of the AAA man. there was a winch-y pulley type system. and so the day was saved and i am returned. welcomed home by my art deco mailbox.
