The best part about me getting a flat tire was that I was able to demonstrate to myself that I was still able to change it all by myself. I think the last time I did that was over 30 years ago.
Realize, of course, that I can wait another 30 years for the next flat tire, but when it comes, I’ll be ready. And when it comes, I’ll still act like it was just as easy when I’m done, and I’ll still walk away with that “I’m a mechanical genius” swagger.
