I'd like to thank you St. Clair Township

Last night as I went to sleep, I put out the thought that perhaps I'd wake early enough to get up, eat breakfast, dress for the gym and get to the Nissan service department just when it opens at 7:30 to get the oil change my nav system has been telling me about for a month.

I woke up around 6:20am, and immediately remembered my thought from last night. I figured, what the heck, I'll actually do it!

I got up, got dressed for the gym, had some cereal, set the coffee machine timer for Cam, grabbed some magazines to read while I waited for the car and headed out.

About a half mile from the house, on my way up a hill...

And the without warning out of nowhere is

So clearly, it looks a mess and I remember it from yesterday when I was sure it gave me a flat and no one is coming toward me so I attempted to swerve around to avoid it and wham blam, thank you St. Clair Township - I now have a busted tire.

I contemplate driving the few miles to the dealership, contemplate pulling over and calling AAA, then remember that a. I have a full spare in my trunk, b. my house is only a half mile away, and c. my husband hasn't left for work yet. Good times.

After changing the tire and leaving for work, Cam suggests that I call the city and rip them a new one, as well as take photos should they plead innocent. Which they did. But take photos I did.

The exact quote Butch (yes, Butch) gave me when I called was "in my driving experience, that patch is drivable."

Really, Butch? Really?
