I'm off to a smashing start, aren't I? The second week in a row that I wasn't able to go on my walkabout. And I've got three cities in mind that I really want to visit.

We had guests yesterday and the car needs a new battery. I should probably call the road service. It's just the time long wait on the phone and by the front door that I dread.

I wish I had paid more attention when my dad tinkered under the hood because I'd be more than happy to deal with the battery myself.

Having a car is such a hassle.
