O'Bummer of a day

Today I watched Obama's inauguration then headed out to do errands for the Pinewood derby to be held tomorrow night. While out, I realized that my phone wouldn't work because the battery was dead because I plugged it into the charger last night but forgot to plug the charger into the wall.

Thus incapacitated, but nonetheless hungry, I stopped at Krispy Kreme for my free inaugural donut. While trying to get back on the freeway I realized that I was about to run out of gas. I got off on the first available exit and ran out of gas in the middle of a bridge at an intersection. I tried pushing the car out of the intersection but I guess I am not very strong. Fortunately, two of the three Nephites came and pushed my car while I steered to a semi-safe spot. I walked four or five blocks and found a gas station. I bought a gas can for $10 and a gallon of gas. I might have called a friend or Bob, but remember, my phone was out of juice too. As I was walking back to my car I had a distinct memory that the candidate Barrack Obama was really concerned about keeping gas in the cars of middle-class Americans. Where was he today when I needed his help? He was in DC enjoying a parade and a ball while I struggled by running out of gas while getting a free donut in his honor on his his big day. It seems President Obamma could not even let one day pass before going back on his campaign promises.
