Car maintenance
This is what I wore today, including when changing the headlight bulb on my car, except then I had on black flip-flops instead of these new shiny red espadrille wedges. A shirtless dude came out to his patio 10 feet away to smoke a cigarette. “What’s wrong with your car?” he asked.
“I’m changing the headlight,” I replied, wrestling to remove the burned out bulb.
“Headlight, huh, that should be just a couple little tabs to get it out,” he offered. “Do you have a new bulb?”
“Yep. [Why would I be taking out the old one if I hadn’t already purchased the new one?] The bulb seems to be stuck, though. Not a problem, I’ll win with brute force,” I said.
He watched the rest of the process in what I assume was silent appreciation. I checked that both headlights flashed when unlocking and locking the car, closed the hood, and wiped my hands on a towel. I pulled my sunglasses down from the top of my head and walked away.
I nodded at the spectator. “Victory,” I said, and he nodded back.
