"we'll see how it plays out"...

i'm sure everything would have been fine had i not uttered the immortal words, "a more laid back less hectic weekend is planned for a change. we'll see how it plays out". we'll it's not the end of the world but we are temporarily down to one car. the taurus wagon refused to start after the street dance last night. i went to turn the key - nothing. no "r'rrrrrrr", no stutter, nothing. dead. i didn't even have a sound i could awkwardly discribe to a mechanic. a good samaritan stopped by and attempted to give my car a jump to no avail. jeff took my wife and kids home and i hitched a ride with good samaritan. long story short, my car spent othe night on a lonely street in st. anthony. this morning i had a roadside assistant try to jump it, again nothing. everybody seems to think the starter went belly up as i still have some juice for the lights & radio. had to get it towed to an auto repair shop where i will try to get it repaired on monday. other than that, the night was virtually stress-free. thanks to jeff for providing the digital stills here.
