Tires + Photography... what a combo

Last night the tire on the Saturn went terrible bad and was past the point of needed a repair. I had strict orders from Chris to drive the car directly to Bridgestone today no where else. Which meant I had to call into work and ask off. Oh well- day off!!!

Today my appointment was at 2pm. I got there early because I was uncertain if the tire was going to blow out on my way into the shop so I left a tab early. Now, its going to take them about an hour to get the new tires on the car. I didn't exactly want to sit in a tire shop surfing the internet (if they even have it) for an hour with a bunch of mechanic dudes. So the closest coffee shop was less than a mile from the shop. Walking there would take me 11 mins. So I did it. By the time I got to caribou I had snot running down my face and my eyes were filled with tears. It was bad. There is no way I'm going to walk BACK to the shop to pick up the car in 45 mins. I called Chris and he's going to pick me up. I'm such a wuss.

Just received a phone call from Chris while I was blogging this post. He has to stay late at work and now I have to walk back to the shop. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a lighter note, I had my night photography field trip the other night in downtown Minneapolis + downtown Anoka. I think I'm going to go back in the summer because it was pretty difficult shooting in the 30 degree + windy weather. It's kind of like walking to a tire shop. ha ha. Here are some shots that were decent.
