I decided to get the salt washed off of my car yesterday. I used the automatic car wash. I felt a little claustrophobic, which was weird; I have never felt like that in the car wash before. Then, just as I got to the rinse, the power shut off. I sat stunned. It was eerily quiet with only the sound of dripping water. What was I supposed to do? I couldn’t get out. For one thing, what if it started up again and I wasn’t in the car? That would not be cool if my car got to the “Go” light without a driver. I sat there for about a minute, watching the suds run down the windshield. Then, the power came back on. It took a few seconds for it to get to full power, which sounded like something from a scary movie. I’m glad it didn’t take too long to get going again. I didn’t even have any snacks in the car; I left my Girl Scout cookies at work. I don’t mind being trapped, as long as I have the necessary supplies.
