A Bitter View

The job is going good. No complaints. Since yesterday I was on assignment at a place out in Northbrook updating their computers. I go there on an empty tank and once my day was over I decided to push it to see how far I could go and sure enough the car stopped in the middle of the street. I knew the next gas station was 5 miles away. It was then I was approached by a lady and her child with a flat tire. We then made a deal she’d take me to the station if I could put air in her tire. The child was pretty scared that the tires were going to explode more than it already has. I tried to assure her she should be more scared when the tire is inflated. Anyway The lady dropped me off at my car and I wished them a merry Christmas (I hope they weren’t Jewish) And to think I lucked out to have something like that happen to me in a upper middle class boonies town. Dag, I may have to take back my words about the North burbs…
