I do not have to worry about my cats (and critters) attacking me because I have run out of food! The car guy says I'll get my car back on his way home from work.

He located the source of the intermitent problem and corrected it.

And once I have the car I'll head out to WalMart for critter food. I've got plenty for the cats, but I got some dirty looks last night from the skinny-tailed ones because the rations were about half what they are used to. And they are busy growing and getting a fat layer to protect them over the winter.

I had been running (mentally) over my options, and concluded that the taxi would be a last resort. With the tip, it ends up being $15 or so each way.

And I was going over ways to ask my neighbor to take me along when ((if) she was going shopping. Or, I would have given her money to get the critter food at least. (We both support both pets and "visitors.")

But I don't have to worry about that.

Thank goodness.

I guess I'll put out the last of the possum chow, then put out a bonus when I get back from the store.

It will be good to have reliable transport again.
