hit a rock on the road

I was driving to work earlier this morning and it was storming out


and was still dark (at around 4am).


I was driving over the mountain pass between Agoura Hills and Malibu.


During most rains, rocks fall off the mountainside into the road.
This morning I didn't see one and I hit it - my tire blew out


and I had to call AAA. I thought I had a spare tire but do not


and so we had to tow the car to the tire shop. I was not able


to go to work as I had no car.


Anyways, I am here at home and I'm just having waves of depression.


I chock it up to the fact that I wasn't able to go to work (the lack of income that results


is not good.) Anyways, I am grateful I am ok and it's just a tire.


Will go back to watching tv and call the shop at 8am when they open.


Peace to you guys and have a good day!!

Hope the day gets better. It sucks, but yes, at the end of the day it’s just a tire.

Cars are nifty conveniences until a harsh reminder of who is REALLY the owner in the car/driver relationship. Them buggers sure do know how to monopolize a budget. Glad you lived to tell the tale. Is there any hope of picking up an extra shift to compensate?

Thanks Arfie! That’s a good idea. I perform a specific function and I don’t know if they could use me at a different time. My function wouldn’t be so relevant outside my usual time frame.
