Nails!! - Update

I promise this will be quick!! Turns out the nail I found was only one of two that the tire had picked up. If the one I pulled out had been the only one, then the tire probably could have been salvaged. As it was, when my better half took the tire in for repair that evening, they found another hole on the inside of the tire--on the sidewall. Unfortunately, that couldn't be fixed. Well, it could but it just wouldn't last long. He wound up buying two new tires for the rear...to match the two new tires he had already bought for the front when he had problems with the front tire going on the freeway last month.

We tried to figure out where the nails could have been picked up. My vote is for the construction site down the street from where I work. The nail I pulled was brand new--like it had just come from someone's nail apron. I've decided to start taking the back way to work to avoid this in future. Hubby doesn't seem to think it'll matter which way I'll go but I'd prefer to not take the chance, for now.

So, Mitzi now has four new shoes--not black patent leather...more a dull black with those funky new tread soles that are all the rage now... And since saddle oxfords are not in this season, they're just plain black.
