Checking the timeliness and it seemed to happen the hour after I went to sleep.

This is all from memory. I have no idea if the actually playing of the game will allow it to hold up as well.

Just an excellent encapsulation of the vibe of our current national mood. A snapshot of both 8 years ago and 100 years ago that better explains now than any other piece of art I can think of right now.

Anyway, I now I have to submit a notarized Power of Attorney document to get a copy of the legal document to try again. The original document I could sign alone in my bedroom. Le sigh.

All they had to do was nothing. It should've been right up Democratic Senators' alley. Just sit there and do nothing and they'd have won the PR war.

Going to check them out tomorrow. Feeling less stressed about everything.

My mechanic is the man though. He's put me on to two possible replacement cars for only a few thousand. So much less painful then buying new or used.

That's actually how all these problems have been. Stressed inducing problem that ultimately has a simple solution to immediate lead into the next stressful obstacle. No actual crisis, but the stress is allowed to build up without dissipation.

So, they said the car is just coming up on its regularly scheduled 10,000 mile oil change. They have me a voucher to take care of it in my own time on their dime. Crisis averted.
