Murphy's law of fate

So...
I awoke this morning to my brother pounding on my door,wanting a ride to work. Apparently his car mysteriously just wouldn't start this morning. Not a problem to take him to work but a little disconcerting considering this is the car we were going to make our trip to SLC in. I have a car too, but because we were going to take his, I've been putting off getting brakes fixed until after the trip. So.. Once I was awake I called my local mechanic guy, he said to just drop in and see what it would take to get those to stop squeaking. Turns out won't be too much so all is well. Except we still don't know about the caddy. I guess we'll see.
