When life gives you lemons

My cell phone only gets service about 1/42 of the time, and by the time it finally does get service the battery is usually dead.

The last time I visited New York, I forgot my charger. Ben bought me a new charger, but I got that one stuck in the vacuum. I bought a car charger on sale at the drugstore, but now that the battery in my car is dead, that one doesn't work either.

I decided to splice the two chargers together in the hopes that two chargers that don't work can be combined to make one charger that works moderately.

The answer is yes. The new charger works almost moderately. But hey, "almost moderately" is a lot better than not working at all.

Did I mention...my life is hard?

This is my car. It hasn't started in more than a month.

I think it's an electrical problem.

I bought some jumper cables.

This scented tree was titled "Freedom". Ben & I wondered what freedom smelled like.

I managed to get the car started with the jumper cables. I took the cables off and parked the other car. When I came back, my car had stopped running and now wont even make the wheezing-trying-to-start noise l. I probably need a new battery. The thing is; batteries are like a hundred bucks and gas is $3 right now, so it looks like my car will be sitting there dead for a little while longer.

So close you can almost taste it

Our fishing class took a field trip to to a fishing rod store in Cresswell. This is my fishing rod. It will catch me some trout, bass and possibly some varieties of salmon.

I can't wait to start fishing.

My glasses and my broken gas gauge?

These wires had been exposed since before I got here. Every time I wakled by them I wondered if they were live...the answer was yes.

I went to Payless to look at shoes, they did not have the ones I was looking for. They did, however, have some size 12 flower print clogs. I didn't want to make a left out of the parking lot, so I went to Quiznos for lunch. This is a futuristic-space-dick for notifying you that your sandwich is ready.

I was a little freaked out by the vibrating space disk.
