Yesterday I ended up biking home from work early because I had a headache that would not go away. I got home at 1:30 pm. 1:30 pm. Remember that I got home at 1:30 pm! I get inside, bring my bike in and head straight for my room. Crashed on the bed and laid

Well I went to the tow guy and asked him how much it would take to get the car off the truck and he said $35, cash. That I of course, did not have, so I called my roommate who brought the money immediately. As he was getting my car down, I asked the manager when they put the signs up on the door. She stated that they were up yesterday afternoon. I then asked her what time they were put up and she said "Around 3:00 pm."
