On the expected unhappiness of yet to be reported events – or, Bleh

Some things just need to be done, no matter what the cost. Well, actually, it's just that some things have to get done even if you can't really afford them.

Last month I took my wife’s car in to check out a few problems. It needed a new catalytic converter. That did not make me happy.

Today I dropped my car off to find out just how much can go wrong when you don’t drive a car for a year because you can’t afford to get it fixed. I’ll find out tomorrow. Any bets on how unhappy this is going to make me?
