I believe I just played out an act in the Theater of the Absurd.
My wife’s car has to go into the shop, so she was planning to drive to work today in the 1993 Toyota that our son uses when he’s not at UW. She carried her teacher things out to the Toyota, started it up and then tried to drive off, but she couldn’t. Something was stuck under the car. She got out. Looked. And found a black bowling ball wedged under the rear axle.
After she drove off in my car, I went out to take a look. Sure enough … a bowling ball. We’re at least a mile and uphill from All-Star Lanes, so I doubt the ball rolled out of the alley, up the Ridgetop and then came to settle under our car. Seems like an odd thing for someone to be carrying around the neighborhood, and it would seem if someone intended to have it, they would have come to us for our help in getting it back out from under our car. And I find it hard to believe that the latest teen prank is to wedge a bowling ball under someone’s car axle.
Luckily, a minute spent with the jack lifting the back end of the car was all it took to dislodge the item.
Now, anyone know where I can recycle a bowling ball?
