I'm a bonehead
That's all there is to it. I knew karma would catch up to me eventually, I mean, it always does. After two columns about my parents, I happened to pull a good one this morning.Sometimes, I think my explorer should be a short bus with seat belts.
I went outside to take my little sister to school and my explorer didn't start. Like a camera flash, I knew what it was right away. Last night, as I headed to begin my nightly jog I opened the door, turned the key backwards, rolled up the windows, shut the door and went running.
I forgot to turn the key off. I'm a dumbass, simple as that.
Fortunately, after I turned off the automatic lights, there was enough juice to turn over the engine so I let it idle for about 15 minutes. After that time, everything was right once again in my little universe.
Now, this Indian summer shit has got to stop. Ninety degrees on Oct. 18 just isn't my idea of fun. However, I did go play 18 holes today for free. The golf pro even comped my cart so it was a goregous day despite having this little heat wave. I almost played another 18 holes but changed my mind.
Gotta love a little fall break despite a bout of dumbassness.
