An Auspicious Beginning to the Season

Meanwhile, don't forget to replace your lug nuts.

Today is the first day of fall, a good time to get one's battery recharged. Speaking of which, the van's battery failed twice in the past three weeks. Luckily, friendly car-owners took pity on us and allowed us to use our jumper cables.

I went to Costco Auto. We were in month 35 of a 36-month full refund guarantee. The net cost of the new battery was $6. The unexpected victory over the warranty gods was an auspicious beginning to the season. May our triumphs continue.
