Okay ---- bought new tires a month ago, literally 30 days ago. Yesterday I went to deliver some work to another office and about a mile from the office as I was returning I hit a curb. The results were a golf ball size hole in the tire, a slit in the tire, a bent wheel and a hubcab lying in the middle of the street.
Fortunately, my brother was at home (no cell phone at the present time) and came to my rescue --that is why we call him Fairy God Bubba. I was able to get off the road and in a parking lot and while waiting for him called Sears to see if the tire would be covered under road hazzard. YES! Alignment if needed? YES!
FBG came, put on the tiny tire and followed me to Sears. Later Sears called and said I needed a new wheel -- they could not get that one straightened. Calls to salvage yards ---nothing that new. Hub Cab Annie's --- three days. I need to get home tonight. Toytoa? YES! one wheel in stock for that size....but, $150. Do I have $150? NO! Sissy Bug to the rescue. She came all the way from Centerville (she also had other business in Franklin that she could do) with the cash and a way to Toyota and Sears. But really she came only for me. She sure is special and so is FGB and so is Emiline and Penny and Pam and Norman.
Well, this means I will be in Chapel Hill even a little longer.
Left Sears at 6:30 and was so emotional drained I did not stop at church, went home , showered, read a little in my Bible and went to bed at 7:30.
