…I saw a couple of people cursing at their dead cars this morning on the walk to school. Which was a walk because my car battery died, too. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s better this happens now than in, say, two days in Pennsylvania.

PS: I’m complaining here because I can’t complain to the car company that sold us the car right now. And I mean can’t. And why is that? I’m glad you asked! It’s because my landline phone’s battery died, too! Must be more of the cold weather. And as for my cell phone… well, let’s just say that, highly ironically, my cell phone is great for anything that doesn’t actually involve making a phone call.
Yes it’s been a stellar morning. Did I mention that the kids are on half-day? Yeah, the kids are on half-day.
You got one of those wireless broadband landlines, Moe, or the kind that have a box in the garage (or basement) that does telephone-via-cable-TV ?

Unless the power is out at Lane Manor, it should still work – unless it’s unplugged, or you’ve blown a fuse/popped a breaker?

Have you tried plugging it into an extension cord to an outlet you know works?

May want to invest in a trickle-charger …

Replace your battery every 4 years or so, get an AGM battery (more expensive, but worth it) and don’t worry about it again.
One of those jumper batteries that are quite inexpensive now are nice to have…in the event. You can at least jump your car and get your kids to school and then to the auto parts store.
