Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Uh oh

{Not quite sure just what exactly you're looking at?  Yeah, me either, though I do know that it managed to do a real number on my front passenger tire last night.  I drove into DC so I could hang out with my friend Seth and his wife, Amy, for a bit--as I approached their apartment building I was surprised to find rock-star parking right out in front; unknown to me at the time, though, was the fact that a 10" section of metal lining the curbside storm drain was jutting out into the roadway, just at the right height to tear into a tire.  It could have been worse--Seth was there to give me a hand putting the spare on and Captain Husband had already made an appointment to take my car in to the dealer today, so it's just one more thing to add to their list of things to fix/check out.  I suppose I'll have to be a bit more wary of rock-star parking spaces from now on.}
