My baby stubbed her toe today...
Well, her front-right hubcap, at least.
I've got to stop thinking of this car as an extension of my own body... "Thump!".... Oh, now that wasn't too bad... I'll just lay off it for a while and it'll get better.
Then the horrible realization dawns:
Machines have very poor regenerative capabilities!
I eventually find a place to park, exit, and survey the damage... not too bad... the hubcap is partially warped away from the wheel proper, the wheel is probably slightly out of alignment now, and gone is the mouth-wateringly smooth ride that I had come to take for granted...
*sigh*
I console myself with turkey jerky (my first ever), which I noticed at Safeway due to the brand name "SnackMasters", which reminded me of HackMaster, a spoof RPG by Kenzer & Co., makers of the hilarious Knights of the Dinner Table comic...
...But I digress.
