Somewhere between Egypt and Canaan

After work yesterday I went on a couple of errands.

The first was to Les Schwab. I had been there last week to get a (free!) inspection of the tires and brakes on my commuter car. They unsurprisingly recommended that I replace two of the tires (they were quite worn), and were able to do so on the spot. Unfortunately, as I was driving along the next day, the hubcap on one of the tires popped off. I recovered it and brought it to them for repair. They couldn’t get the hubcap to stay on, and couldn’t find an exact replacement, so they replaced all four hubcaps on my car, no charge, no fuss.

The second was to Costco. My glasses had been in an unfortunate accident involving my lap and an incoming child. Julie somehow found the little screw that had popped out, so I taped it all back together until I had time to bring them in for repairs. The friendly man behind the counter at Costco took the glasses and quickly fixed and readjusted them, no charge, no fuss.

That’s my kind of errands.
