Punctured Tire

Today when I was going to school I passed through a stop sign and heard a noise at the back of my car. As I continued to drive I heard a thumping noise. I thought I had a flat tire. When I got to school (which was only a block away) I looked at the tire and saw what looked like a roofing nail. The tire wasn’t flat but it did have a big roofing type nail stuck in the tire. After I worked at school for a few hours, I took the car to Just Tires and had them take the nail out. The job was complicated because I have wheel locks but didn’t have the key with me. They said they could take it off but would have to replace it with a regular nut. I said that was fine. Next time I take my car in for service I’ll have to have them put the locked nut back on. No problem. So after an hour and a half and $35, the tire is fixed. I hope my luck changes soon.

New Glasses

I went to the eye doctor today and got more evidence that I’m getting old. I had to get a new perscription. I knew it was getting a little harder to see the words when reading. So I get new glasses and now it’s much easier to read. I only wear my glasses for reading so I guess my eyes aren’t too bad.
