Car trouble and Manhattan Melodrama

[mabfan]

So on our way to an event at the school tonight, the car's temperature gauge moves into the red. We turned her off, and had her towed to the garage. Then we got a cab to the school and a lift home.

I hate car trouble because I'm not a car person. Hopefully they'll have it fixed tomorrow.

And in other news, I decided to rent "Manhattan Melodrama" (1934) because it opens with the burning of the General Slocum (which, as I noted before, occurred 100 years ago today). The recreation looked rather realistic and mostly accurate.

I highly recommend the book. We're taping the show on the History Channel to watch later.
