The good news is that I found a place that still has free air. The tire was not quite flat, so I filled it and so far it holds air.
I live in dread of being stuck on the center span of the TZ bridge. If it didn’t happen with Maude (my 83 Blue Chevy truck) or Ralph (my 69 red Chevy truck), I hope it won’t happen with my current (unnamed) Blue Ford Truck, even though it has 177,000 miles on it and is fading fast. I’ve been crossing the bridge every weekday since 1986, except for a year working on Wall Street and a month or two of unemployment.
I really should name the Blue truck. She’s been decent to me and she stood up well until the tree fell on her last month.

When did the tree fall on her? Is this the old turqoise thing you drive?
I have the perfect name for your Blue Truck, in light of your web/tech savy life, ready?
“Bluetooth.” Hey? :-) Or you could just all the truck Blue. Or Blu ray
even.

Perhaps “Big Blue” because I’m 6’3″ and big and I worked for IBM for a couple of years. Maybe, since I like blues, Terraplane after the classic 1936 Robert Johnson song about a car that needs work.
But the truck is Teal – sort of an odd, not very pleasant color. It reminds me of the teal crayon that was always one of the last ones left when the primary color crayons were used down to the nub.
