Not deja vu, thankfully

At least this time, when the tire went flat on the interstate, I maintained control; babied it to a gas station; discovered that the gas station had an attached tire center; found that the tire folks could see me immediately; and learned that the only problem was a bad valve stem, which cost me less than $20 to replace.

This one worked out a LOT better than getting a hip replacement. I'm still rattling from the adrenaline, though.
