How to have an Adventure!

1. Roll-start your car to go down to the mall
2. Discover your bank card will not work on any machine other than the "withdraw only" one, so you can't transfer cash to the credit card or savings accounts.
3. Draw a minimal amount of cash and go have lunch.
4. Wander the mall, buy essential groceries and head back to the car.
5. Discover the battery is now completely dead, get the car-security guys to push it out so a passing friend can try jump-start it.
6. After half an hour, burn out his jumper cables - while still getting no reaction from your own battery.
7. Walk the entire length of the huge mall once more to buy a battery for the car.
8. Find no-one willing to help choose a battery at the shop, find a car/battery guide and help yourself to the right type.
9. Discover a new battery costs 430 bucks, have no choice but to pay.
10. Haul it back to the car on one of your child-bearing hips.
11. Get the car-security guy to help install it, start the car and get home.
12. Discover he forgot to close the car bonnet properly, and that it could have blown open on the way home.
13. Sit quietly and still in one place for the rest of the day, just in case you trip over something or break something or cause another disaster.
14. Hope the wall does not fall on you while sitting there.
