It was Saturday morning and Henry didn't have to work today. He sat in the kitchen writing his grocery list on a little yellow pad.

I pulled my car into the quick lube and inspection place hoping for an uneventful morning. It was my first day off in several months and the last thing I needed was car problems. I parked the car in the designated customer parking area, set my parking brake, killed the engine and stepped out into the bright, humid day. It was just nine in the morning, but th...
