"Lucky"

Tonight we are in Bakersfield, Ca. Did you know they have Trader Joes here? Good thing we saw it and decided we needed some 2 buck chuck. We un-did the Escape and set off to shop.
(Bet you are holding your breath to see what happened this time), well the tire pressure is low light was on...... so we checked and sure enought a screw was imbedded in the side wall of the tire. A nice youg man drew us a map to a tire store and of course it is a hazard so not covered under warrantee. A hundred plus dollars and 1 hour of our time and we are all set to go on one new tire.
Now the lucky part.....if we had been towing, we would not have seen the light on, the tire would have probably blown and damaged the rim and the car and we would be stranded out in the Mojave desert NOT A PRETTY THOUGHT!
no pictures, wasn't expecting an event to occur.
