A quantum of solace, or, An adventure, rightly considered

[samedietc]

If my car starts up today, then the aggravation of trying to get my car to work last week was a fun little adventure; if my car doesn't start up, it was a tiny tragedy, like a pinhole stroke just wide enough to let slip through the one word you need. Until I go out and try it this morning, my quantum car, Schroedinger's car--neither alive nor dead

That is the most beautiful car story since Joolee's taping of John's moving all his things to his new car (the old car promises to be better, promises to start and do all the things he wants it to, but in the end he still dumps it).

I hope your adventure ends in triumph.

I like Dwight and Hassan.

Our car does this crazy thing at one of the Amherst schools--almost every time I park it in their lot it doesn't start. Everywhere else, it's fine. Josh started driving me there so I wouldn't have to park in the mysterious battery-death-zone.

But anyway good luck!
