Speaking of technical difficulties, guess what else died today? My lil Honda (yes, all my possessions are lil). Aaarrgg. I was on my lunch break doing last minute Christmas shopping and it just up and stopped running at a stop light. Frack! It restarted, but was not the same. Idling oddly, threatening to die again every time I slowed down. I stopped in a parking lot and called Jef, went thru some basic troubleshooting (”Do you have gas?” “yes”… etc.). Finally, I called my friend, Tim, and got a garage recommendation since I was in his ‘hood. So there it remains, at the garage, awaiting some new parts and a giant tune-up (it’s first one in several years). Apparently my ignition wires were “completely falling apart.”

So I ask you.

Macbook? Or repaired automobile?
