Two Flats

I'm back from taking care of two flat tires. My husband got home late last night from his cursillo weekend, and he had to be out the door at 0500 this morning for a live broadcast (about health care and the uninsured - listen here for details). So he came around noon and I fed him lunch, and we went together with 2 flat tires to the Tire Warehouse down the road. My husband likes to use this store because the manager leaves Knights of Columbus literature laying around the store. Also they are very friendly and competent. I was afraid that the damage to the tire would be irreparable, and that I would have to buy a new one. I also knew that the rim on the spare was damaged beyond belief. Well, thanks be to God, they were able to repair the tire, and I was able to also buy a full-size (used) spare tire on a wheel - and the total for the two was under $50. Not only that, but it only took about 15 minutes. So I am back on wheels again.
