My arms aren't long enough...

...to box with God? Heck, I don't even need that much. I just need an extension for a bit of minor car repair.

My wife got stuck in traffic this morning. That's annoying and frustrating enough, I'm sure.

But then I get the phone call that she's got a flat tire. Probably from driving over the glass from the accident that caused the traffic. Darned insult added to injury.

I work in a wonderfully sane, rational place. I was given permission to leave and go help before I even thought to ask for it. Unfortunately, with the traffic between here and there, the AAA guy can get there before I will. So I'm sitting here ineffectual, wishing I were Mr. Fantasitc, so I could just stretch out there and fix the damned tire.

I guess I can pat myself on the back for getting the AAA coverage, but when my Lady's sitting out there frustrated and late, that doesn't seem like it was quite enough. I never thought to ask if she knew how to change a tire, and now I'm smacking myself for it :(

So, notes to self - Check the spares on both cars. Give the Lady a lesson in changing them.

Well, the lady in question is at least safe at work now, and should be able to get home on the miniature imitation tire currently on the car.

I feel just a tiny bit stupid for not knowing how to change the tire myself, but such is life. This is the first time it's been an issue in nearly a decade....
