This morning when I was ready to leave the house, I saw that the front left tire was flat (always check all four tires before you get in the car; it just requires a couple of seconds). AAA came out to put on the spare (I don't do that kind of work), and I dropped the tire off at Discount Tire to be replaced. On the way back, on a street that I drive quite often, someone had painted a large rock on the hillside. I couldn't help but smile and think that the day was going to be okay:

I never knew the name of the little street intersection there, but you can see the street sign says "HIGH ST." I've been on a pretty good natural high since I saw these lips!
