No matter, most of the time I'm moving along fine. Well I start to hit traffic and it starts to creep up faster and faster every time. Somehow I make it past the 295 merge, past the Barry (Commodore,not jive), and have a critical decision to make. I get off at 320 and wind through backroads. Carefully blowing red lights when I need to in order to get to the blue route north. Goal this whole time was to get to the mechanic I use in Ardmore. I think im going to do it. West Chester Pike is a mess but I know the area well and wind through, stopping for no more than 30 seconds at a time. The car is... At a delicate equilibrium while going 30 or so. I realize at this point I'm going to make it. And I do. And I turn my car off and it makes a horrific jurassic park sound and clearly something has ruptured. Coolant leaks everywhere. Yet still I am relieved.

Ten minutes later my girlfriend texts me that HER car is dead. At 15th and spruce. By this point I'm at a friend's recounting my tale over a beer so I chug that, catch the train and then sit outside in this brutal heat until AAA comes.

While all this is going on our new apartment and it's garbage ac is trying to futilely cool the place after having been off for four days. Not sure it would have mattered much with the power out for twelve hours the day before. It's 86 degrees at 1030pm. I download hotel tonight and get a room a few blocks away, the room from which I am posting this.

RIP my credit card bill.

This story makes my soul hurt

++ Dear big girl, we sent your "dress" in the box. Please try a handy snack, and we hope to see less of you soon.

How else can your turn sales to scorn you ask? Well Macy's answers with sets of plates.

For what?

For what?

would cover repairs on everything other than wear/tear and cosmetics. The big one is it would cover all the electronics.

Car comes with 6 month/6,000 mile bumper to bumper but the extra coverage would be for 7 years/70,000 miles.
