I'm sitting outside of a walmart I was towed to after a pothole on i24 tore two tires to shreds. I'm outside because the dog can't go in. Some quick tire replacement and safe drive home ma would be appreciated.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

I am home! Thanks for the good thoughts. It all went as well as such things can: great response from my Geico roadside assistance; a tow truck in 30 minutes; and a very nice tow truck driver who found the most convenient place that could sell me tires and made sure they could take care of me. Mr. Peabody was a trooper, even riding in a tow truck cab without a whimper.

Slipping in a little note:
Finally caught up on all the Shir and Nilly updates. Sorry I'm not posting at the right time for them to see, but - chaverot (friends), much safety--end of terror--real change for peace--ma to you and yours.
Little did I know on Shabbat (Saturday) morning that I should have said the prayers for the State of Israel and for the IDF with much more kavanah (intention), given what was happening at those moments. May our prayers for deliverance and peace be answered quickly.

So. I got laid off.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Lest anyone be concerned, I wasn't in Bangkok for New Year - still in Scotland, in fact - so, no, not involved in the Nightclub Fire. Praying that nobody of my acquaintance was either, selfish as that is - still, the 60+ dead are all somebody's family and friends. It's a terrible way to start 2009.

Sigh. Hivemind help requested.
In a genius move, I just sliced the hell out of my right index finger on the edge of a food processor blade stuck in the corner of a drawer. It bled a lot but stopped after about 15 minutes of elevation and pressure. I flushed it out with cold water, put antibiotic ointment on it, and bandaged it up. It's ugly, but I think it will be fine.
However, I can't for the life of me remember when the last time I had a tetanus shot is. I don't think it's been more than ten years--I suspect it's been about 9--but I should probably get a booster just in case. Can I wait until tomorrow to go into Urgent Care and get one, or do I have to go in tonight? I'd really rather avoid yet another late night UC visit if at all possible.

A little Buffista health-ma in the direction of my Mom couldn't hurt just now, as she seems to have taken a turn from the worse based on the testimony of her best friend. So I'm headed down there instead of going home from the Big Family Gathering I was at this weekend, to sort out what's what and generally hold my breath until she gets the proper help or treatment. So probably I'll need some Resolve-ma for myself for dealing with a Difficult Person.
