they deter theft! AND ALSO HUMAN KINDNESS.

PLACES I HAVE BEEN TODAY:

• auto shop
• campus (dad's office)
• doctor's office
• mom's office
• storage unit
• bank
• home
• mom's office
• auto shop
• campus (bookstore)
• tire shop
• storage unit
• tire shop
• home

The car (my dad's), it turns out, has locking lug nuts on its wheels. The car, I am assured by my family, my memory, and common sense, did not have locking lug nuts on it the last time we checked. Either way, we do not have a key to said locking lug nuts, which means we cannot remove the tires, which means that the break work (the reason for the first trip to the auto shop) cannot be done.

Basically, unless there is a confrontational performance artist roaming my town at night and replacing the lug nuts of unsuspecting citizens with rassinfrassin locking lug nuts, I can only conclude that somebody, somewhere, has fucked up very badly indeed.

EDIT: but in the end, I managed to go to my appointment, get my textbook, and do the homework for tomorrow, so on the whole I am prepared to call today a success. Now: naptime.
