Pros and Cons

I'm commuting to Baton Rouge this week. It is about a 1 hour drive from home. As I came outside to start the drive home tonight at 6:45 PM, I discovered that I had a flat tire. After waking up at 5:45 this morning, this was not a welcome sight to the end of a long day.

Silver lining: After calling AAA and saving myself from having to do the hard work, I drove home on my donut and averaged 57 mpg since I was only going 60 mph. Talk about making lemonade.

You passed up a golden opportunity to challenge my 9:07:79 record in changing a flat, adn you called AAA.
