Screwed again

Yesterday I swapped out the right left (corrected 8/14/07; no, it’s not just in politics that I can’t tell left from right) rear tire, which of course was flat again, and hied my way hence to Costco, where the kid at the tire shop quite understandably gave me the fish eye. “Where have you been driving?” he asked.

The answer was, nowhere unusual: not to the dump or near construction sites that I know of. But at least in this case the cause of the flat was no huge mystery: there was a Philips-head screw clearly visible when I took it off.

Once again, the Costco tire dept, came through for me and fixed it for free. Like them I still wonder how come I’m having such deuced bad luck with tires?

Today I seem to have the flu. Joy. I’ll stay mostly abed and write Annja’s latest exploits. Gotta get that finished soon.
