a teeny tiny travel tale

flat.jpg, originally uploaded by tinkerellen.

this is my husband's handy work. it happened on the way to pick up the car. to drive to the airport. to catch our flight. to come home. anyway, his mother and i laughed when he hit the pothole and gave him grief for five minutes about not paying attention to the road (he's too preoccupied with water sensor windshield wipers).

anyway, a few minutes later the car was wobbly and we were worried. we happened to be next to a dinky little mechanics garage so we pulled in. an hour later the problem was solved and we were on our way. i learned two things that day: never drive on a flat, and in virginia, a tire is a tar.
