So I have returned from The North (I was in Seattle and Canada for latter part of last week). Upon my return, I try to start my car, which was left at my brother's house for safe keeping. Said car will not start. Said car chugs like an outboard motor. But AAA was kind enough to jump me, and now I sit at Sean's house with Cliff's cat in my lap, waiting for the battery to charge enough to let me go to Sears and buy a new one.

Whee.

P.S. The North is pretty.
