Howdy from the Cape

Not much going on down here, though I'm currently typing from my car at the public library down here in Harwich where they have free WiFi. Mom and I went over the Nantucket the other day and today I went around on my own for a bit, ending up at Nauset Beach and then going over to walk around Orleans for a bit. Stan's supposed to come up here late Thursday, so hopefully I'll be able to ask him Boston related stuff and maybe find out a bit more about internship opportunities.

I also managed to finish the book The Dante Club in two days and have been working on some wrting stuff while I've been here. Mom and I might take the kayaks out to Little Pleasant Bay tomorrow. Other than that, not much up. But hey, it's a vacation, isn't it?

Agh!

I once again appear to be upholding the rule that I can't go on a trip anywhere with something going spectacularly wrong at some point. Case in point: I'm still at the public library, waiting for AAA to show up and jumpstart my car, since I accidentally ran down the battery and can't start it!

I'm still trying to figure out how I did that, but I think I might have done something like left the lights on but not noticed, since I didn't move outside of my car and just worked in the front seat on my laptop, so I couldn't have heard the "lights on" indicator. D'oh! At this point I think I've done just about every blockhead automotive move in the book except for popping a tire.

And *late breaking update* it turns out that they sent a truck to Hardwick (which is more like our house!) and not Harwich on the Cape, so I have to wait even longer. The guy on the phone said the "do this crap" all the time, but it makes me want to bang my head into something. And before this I had been having a very fun day. *headwall*
