I'm in for an afternoon of waiting rooms and power tools. I'm off to the dentist and then to the garage to drop off the car to get the brakes and the windshield wiper motor fixed. I figure one needs to be able to both see and stop when winter driving. I've loaded 2 episodes of 24 onto the iPod and a couple episodes of Extras (from the creators of the original Office), so that should get me through the wait at the garage. Ciao.

(And no Amy, I don't plan to go to Crappy Tire. They've haven't done anything particularly wrong in the past, just that the customer service has never given me a reason to come back.)
