Last night, Phenom and I had a fun little date night. It was one of those dates that requires a bit of pre-planning and travel. (Highlight, my new, enormous souvenir beer mug!)
On the way home, lights and bells started going off in Phenom's car. It's one of those cars that has all sorts of bells and whistles. So many, you have to look up every single little light, chime to know if it's one that says "Gee, we like you" or one that is warning of impending doom.
These were the doom sort. All four tires had experienced a "significant loss in pressure." And, it was well after midnight.
We drove slowly to a service station and located the air pump. But, it was so dark we couldn't see the tire gauge. Until the little MacGyver in my head jumped to the front of the line. I used the light of my cell phone to illuminate the gauge. Tires were tended to . . . and finally, about 3am, we rolled into our driveway.
Now, I'm going to go fold a bit of newspaper into a machete and take care of the unruly weeds in the back yard.

Did we have cell phones when MacGyver was around? Or was that a time-travel episode I missed (I missed more than I caught...)?
there were shoe phones, but I don't think they lit up.
