Murphy's Law?

  This evening, I left home "just for a minute" and so didn't grab the cell phone. Of course, as I'm driving through the absolute worst neighborhood in my town (the one riddled with gangs), I had a flat tire.

  I almost always have my cell phone on me. I don't use it as a "regular" phone. We have a plan that's $15 a month for 300 minutes. It's just for emergencies! So when I have an emergency, my phone is at home.

  Murphy got me. Fortunately, it was still daylight and there was a fire station right around the corner, so I pulled in there. I felt safer there. One of the firemen even came out and helped.

  Just wondering about others' stories of Murphy's Law winning out.

  What company offers 300 minutes a month for $15?

  Miami University in Oxford! I'm a student there so I get a free phone and 300 minutes a month for $15. I don't text, so it's great for me. I still use my LAN line.

  Well, Horowitz got me this morning. Last night I had a flat tire and put on the spare.

  This morning, the opposite tire was flat. Spare's in use. I'm stuck at home and it's PALM SUNDAY. No church for me!

  There's a tire place right around the corner from me but it's closed on Sunday.

  Screw Horowitz.

  Since I'm trapped at home, thought I'd do laundry. Oops, I'm out of laundry soap. So I decided to make some, only to discover that I don't have any washing soda~and I can't go to the store to buy any!

  This day is not shaping up too well for me.

  Damn Murphy/Horowitz.
