  i didn’t die yesterday.

  i was going to take the highway to Steve’s house to pack the things for Brasil. but it was all backed up. so i took the long way. then something started to sound weird on my front left tire.

  so i pulled over. but it wasn’t flat. so i kept going.

  and said “Dear God, make the noise go away! please say my car isn’t dying!”

  then i pulled over again, and popped the hood like i knew what i was doing. everything looked…confusing and grimy like it always did…

  so more praying.

  then it got worse. i pulled over into Aldis. and stared at the tire.

  a guy walked over and said “Dang, i can’t believe your tire didn’t fall off–there is only one more lug nut on there, and it is almost off. “ yeah. so that is why it made that noise. if i’d been going on the highway, it probably woulda just flown off. or something. so he helps me tighten up the lug nuts and all and says “hey, it would be nice if you give me $20.”

  yeah, it would be nice. but i opened my wallet to find one dollar and change. so i gave him that and said “how about i get you some groceries?”

  so we got the man some food from Aldis, and i went on my way. everything is fixed.

  all that camp stuff.
