Today my tire blew out on the interstate during rush hour.

So how was your day?

    Oh no! Are you okay? (I guess you are, or you wouldn't be posting... but still!)

    Ah...you took away my chance to give a smart-aleck reply. ;)

    Yes, I'm fine. My car is mostly fine. Here are some highlights for the curious:

    *Getting advice from a "certain source" a few minutes earlier that nothing was wrong with my car

    *Going from 70ish mph in the left lane to 0 mph on the right shoulder within a few seconds

    *Noticing that the rim of my (former) tire was starting to smoke

    *Getting help from a "litter crew" in orange vests (inmates??)

    *Taking another fun trip to the Walmart tire & lube (wasn't I supposed to be working today??)

    *Noticing that the end of the bumper isn't quite in the same place it was when I left home this morning

    *Still not quite being able to pop the casing inside the tire space back in place (I get an F for car/home maintenance!)
