I dropped my car off at a shop about 1.5 hours ago. One of the front tires had a split between the edge of the wheel and the rim protection lip (but still holding air). The missus thinks she hit a curb. I think I've driven the car <10 miles in the last 4 weeks, and it's been the slowest that I've ever driven the car. It had been so long that I had to use the key because after a week, the remote entry goes to sleep or something like that. It'll feel good to have that tire replaced, so in case we have an emergency or need to go someplace, we can.

Lots of idiots out there. I'm glad for every business that can stay open.

Our apt complex has been setting up food trucks to come 3-6 days per week for the past couple of weeks. I'm sure those folks are happy just to be working. I've been tipping extra when we buy from them. I had to get an Uber back from dropping the car off this morning.
