After Thanksgiving dinner with my parents, I was driving home in the pouring rain and--wouldn't you know it--my windshield wipers broke. So I drove around, unable to see, trying to find an open gas station. I managed to get to a 7-11 and the people that worked there let me call AAA. I don't have a cell phone and, as I discovered, there are no working pay phones anymore. I had AAA tow me home, which cost me $60, and, as I'm being towed, the rain stopped.

I took the car in this morning, and my mechanic had to order a part, a windshield wiper transmission, which won't arrive till Monday or Tuesday. At least, it's not supposed to rain between now and then. Call me Mr. Lucky!
