Reason #44 Why Summer is Better Than Winter

    "I get pushed out of shape, and it's hard to steer, when I get rubber in all four gears..."



     Changing  two tires in a gas station parking lot a half an hour from home in July heat is sweaty.  Changing two tires in a gas station parking lot a half an hour from home in February cold is just plain painful.  As an aside, did you know that a Smart Fortwo comes with a nifty tire inflator, but does not come with a JACK?  Neither did I when I left stately Jones manor on a rescue mission to save a SWMBO in distress.  Can you guess which tool I DIDN'T bring when I loaded tools and tires and dogs  into the back of  Lady Liberty and departed on aforementioned mission?

    When SWMBO's  er, enthusiastic approach to  green light launches collides with her laissez-faire attitude toward preventive maintenance, the result isn't pretty.
