So we were supposed to leave for Connecticut around 7 this evening. I then discovered that, over the course of the past 36 hours, the car has developed a flat tire. Ugh.

Called AAA, was given a 2-hour window for service. We called sprite’s folks to let ’em know we wouldn’t arrive overnight, and thought we’d need to buy a new tire in the morning before leaving for points north.

20 minutes after calling AAA, two nice guys from Fargo Road Repair show up and patch the tire (a razor had become embedded, probably when I parked the car on Wednesday). So we’re all set for an early departure tomorrow morning.
