Self-Service
My van wouldn't start this morning. Since nobody was on hand to give us a jump, my nurse and I decided to throw caution to the wind and hook up the jumper cables to my ventilator battery. And to our mild surprise, the van started right up. Don't try this at home, kids. I think I'm going to start roaming the streets and parking ramps of downtown Minneapolis in my free time, jumping stalled cars for fifty bucks a pop. I'm going to need the extra cash to pay off the hefty car repair bill I incurred later in the day. After the van wouldn't start for a second time, I discovered that it needs a new battery and a new water pump; a rather expensive start to my three-day weekend.
