Well, my luck proceeds apace. I woke up in Granada Mississippi, with a fever and a sinus infection. Yet more confirmation that at least one thing in my life has to be broken at all times. I scarfed Advil, drove as best I could up the road, thru Memphis (missing… Continue reading
Whew! The problem with my car last night was indeed a broken alternator. After a sleep-deprived night, I called one of the local Vidor repair shops, and asked if they could take an emergency repair job. The nice lady on the phone said they could but that it might take… Continue reading
