As I was leaving the gym, something seemed odd with my car - I stopped and got out, and LO!! a flat tire on the right rear wheel. Drat!! There was no fixing it - apparently, I had driven on it, all the way TO the gym, without noticing it was flat. Sheesh... So I had to buy a new tire - but met a very nice little guy at the tire store who told me stories of his Halloween at Universal Studios...
I'm picking up my friend - whose condo I live in, here in the Marina - tonight at 9:30 at LAX... then I'll be commuting thither and yon for about 10 days... such a little vagabond for the past 10 years... <sigh>
