So that huge storm hit this area yesterday. The highways were all flooded, which meant that on the hour drive to thanksgiving dinner my car was hydroplaning every other minute.

You know what problem you might have if your car is basically floating? Well, you might have a flat tire, and not be able to tell, because your car is all over the road to begin with.

And you know what the problem with that is? Well, you might keep driving on a deflated tire, at highway speeds, for a few dozen miles. And, should that happen, you may only notice somethings amiss when your car begins making all kinds of noise, and you finally pull off the road to see smoke billowing out of your car.

Now, should your brother in law show up to pick you up, rocking a new mustache that looks EXACTLY like the biker's for the village people, I would recommend that you not point this out to him. At all. Young man, I was once in your shoes. I said, young man...

All told, pretty lousy Thanksgiving. Yams were good though.
