Well, this is a hell of a start for Tuesday.

Apparently the fuel pump in the Sportage has died, because it cranks like crazy but isn't kicking over. So off to Don Beyer's it goes to have that checked out. Well, it's lasted 117,000 miles, so I suppose it was due to die sooner or later. But why today?

So here I am, sitting at home and waiting for the tow truck. It's not much of a consolation that I'm being about as productive as I would be at work.

Just to enhance the fun, today is election day here in Alexandria (city offices, school board, and Commonwealth primaries), and I'd planned to stop at the library for fresh books as well as the veterans' clinic for a resupply of insulin syringes. Welp.

At least this isn't as bad as the time it broke down on a 90+ degree day while we were hauling stuff outta your apartment.

Yeah, that's definitely true. That sucked pretty badly.
