I felt it was going to happen.

I was driving to work teaching.

I hit one pothole. The car drove fine.

Then the second. The thump, thump, thump began.

Pulling over, I noticed it was a flat.

I prudently got off the next exit and changed the tire to the spare.

Good exercise, but I could have avoided it.

The mechanic said to change the tires.

But I avoided it, forgot about it, ignored it and pushed it off.

I know G-d will help me get to work.

But I forgot another thing.

We shouldn’t rely on miracles.

Just take care of it.
