Welcome to my Blog

Yesterday on the way home, I was on the freeway and an alarm in the car went off saying that something was amiss with my tire pressure. So I continued on and when I reached the gas station near home, I stopped to check the pressure. At first look, I couldn’t see any problem. The tire gage was saying things were normal until I reached the back driver’s side tire. Although the numbers on the tire were good, I heard the distinctive sound of a steady hiss coming from the back of the car.

::: Bare with me. I am going somewhere with this :::

I got on my hands and knees and looked toward the source of the hiss and found something had become lodged in the tire. It was now a race to get to a place that could fix the tire before it went completely flat. Let me say now as an aside, I totally and completely endorse Les Schwab Tires. They ROCK! Anyway, they fixed the tire (quickly) and the cost? FREE! I was thrilled and I avoided a huge headache.

This morning I blogged about being deflated. Frankly I was. I just didn’t think there was any reason for hope. That steady hiss was me being discouraged with this presidential stuff. I just wanted to pull  my hair out. I will say that McCain’s pick of Palin has temporarily put a stop on the hiss. So far, I like what I am hearing from her and about her. Does it change my mind yet on how I will vote? No. But the potential is there. And I will say that IF I vote the McCain ticket, it won’t be because of him. After hearing her speak, I was wishing she was the one running for president. Ah…maybe some day.
