Perhaps this is just deserts...
Thursday, 10PM... DW is fast asleep (she plans to go to Penney's at ~3AM). I head out for Best Buy. Only I discover both of my headlights out -- hi-beams work, just not lo-beams. I debate going (a) just w/hi-beams, (b) staying home, (c) taking DW's car, thinking I'd be back b4 she wakes. I chose DW's car.
10:30PM... Best Buy is impossible, so I scoot over to Target and get in line in a very dark place behind the store. Store employees walk by w/store maps and free power-bars. I enter at 12AM and quickly find what I want. But checkout is a nightmare.
2AM... After an hour in line to checkout, I'm now friends with folks around me. They hold my stuff while I go to find a signal to call home. I wake up DW and tell her that I have her car ("What!"). I advise that she have her son (my stepson) take her to the Mall in his truck and we all meet her there.
3AM... Meet DW and stepson at the Mall. JC Penney opens at 3:30AM. After an hour there, stepson and I leave her there and return home in his truck.
7:30AM... DW is still not home, but sun is up, so I go to buy headlight bulbs.
