a near miss with disaster




being the busy parents we are, kim and i often find ourselves flying around town preoccupied with baby matters.  saturday was no different, and i was all over town doing this and that while olive sat in the backseat reading her books.

unfortunately one thing i didn't notice was the fuel level, because it was pretty much pegged past 'e' when i finally noticed it.  the car's computer does an estimate of how many miles you can drive before you run out of gas - i'm pretty proud that i've gotten it down to about 2 miles remaining in the past - well on saturday when i checked it was on 0, and i have no idea how long it had been there!  luckily i was only a few blocks away from a gas station.  but i was so worried about running out of gas that i turned the car off at a red light.

luckily i made it and the crisis was averted.
