flat tire

cars are annoying when they don't work right...and last night i ran over something on the highway. it was quick, i felt a thud, mom & i threw up a quick prayer (we were chatting on the phone) and i kept driving. all seemed ok. a few hours later, however, my car was pulling to the right and making awful noises any time i ran something little over (those things they put in the lines in the highway lines). i got to my destination and confirmed that my tire was now flat. oops.

i've learned a couple things here:
1. terrible noises coming from the tire is a bad sign
2. i probably don't ever have to learn how to change a tire
3. driving 45 to keep the spare tire happy is HARD
