Flat Tire

When I went out this morning I discovered that my driver's front tire was flat.  Like smashed into the ground, like sitting on its rim, like totally unmovable....rats!
After I got the tire off the truck I was able to put some air in it only to discover a sidewall puncture.  That means a new tire, no repair allowed.
  Then I found out that my neighbor also has a flat tire, with the same cause.  It turns out that our troubles are not the only ones that have been reported to law enforcement.  The police say they know what group of young vandals is causing the problems, but so far they haven't been able to catch them red-handed.
     The tire store in the next city north will be able to get me back on the road sometime tomorrow.  Until then it'll sit there with a jack-post holding it up.
    I'm glad they didn't go after the tires on the van.
