Well, to my prayers for a fiasco free day, God seems to have replied. His answer was "Not Today".
My tire was still aired up this morning, so that was a good start. I got in the car at 6:30 for my drive in the dark to class. I discovered that instead of the air compressor actually crapping out last night, I in fact blew a fuse that works my accessory plug in as well as my radio. So, I made a very dark and quiet drive to class this morning.
I decided to figure out how to change the fuse myself and I am happy to report that I was successful. I now will add that to my list of "skills" I possess.
After fixing the fuse, I went to Discount Tire where they informed me that my front tires were horrible and they wouldn't even fix a tire that was in that bad of shape (No, I've never rotated my tires and thus the front are worn and the back look new). I told the guy that I passed inspection last month, and he was very shocked that those tires passed. He told me how unsafe they were, etc., etc. So, now I'm currently getting two new tires in lieu of continuing to travel in the death trap that I have apparently been driving.
Hopefully that is the end of the fiascoes for today, and I will again pray for a fiasco free day tomorrow!
For a bit of good news, we haven't been sucked into the black hole. If you don't know what I'm talking about, sorry to break the news (Lisa was unhappy that I spoiled her blissful ignorance earlier this morning). In Switzerland today they kicked on their multi-billion dollar superconductor. They are trying to re-create the big-bang and particles that existed at the forming of the earth. Apparently, there was a slim chance that this experiment would suck the earth into a black hole and kill everyone. They cranked it up this morning (Swiss time) and so far so good, we are all still here. Of course, they haven't conducted the large scary part of the experiment yet, but I'm still hoping for the best!
