This does not bode well...
This morning as I was driving to work, I witnessed a stupid accident. It was before an intersection. The light was red, and I was waiting for it to turn green so I could turn left.

That's bad enough, and then add to it, my car not starting yesterday evening (and this comes 2 days after I renewed my insurance having passed aircare). BCAA came and got it going, seems to be the fuel pump, we shall see. So I drove it to shop, ( Read more... ) -
A non-knitcentric entry for a change

What I'm smelling lately
