Today was one of those days.  Sometimes I leave the dome light on so I can see the keys, or whatnot.  Today was also one of those days.<\/p>\n<p>I was on longer than I usually  am, today, and have nearly (also) depleted my laptop battery.  But when I went to start my car to return home, the car wouldn&#8217;t start.  I had one person try and jump me, but I wasn&#8217;t able to start it.  I&#8217;m not positive that I grounded the negative properly.  At any rate, they didn&#8217;t have a lot of  time, so I gave up.   Now my mom is en route from home to come, and maybe I will be able to start it this time.  I&#8217;ll have more  time, and all.   If all else fails, then I&#8217;ll know that it wasn&#8217;t totally my fault for getting stuck, and I&#8217;ll get a ride home.  But now I&#8217;ll sign off before my laptop dies <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, as I wrote the last letter you see, the battery went dead, and I didn&#8217;t have enough time to post it.<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, I tried to jump the car from the van, and I placed the cable near where I did before, moved it slightly, and I saw a spark.  So I left the cable in that location, and the car started right up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Following text was written at about 11:54 pm last night.
