I was minding my own business on a quiet holiday weekend morning with fantastic weather in Seattle when a terrifying portent entered my inbox:
My first reaction was not, ‘I haven’t rented from Hertz in months.’
It was not ‘I’ll click on this to have a look.’
It was run across the apartment shouting to my wife, “You may need to bail me out!”
Turns out the credit card on file in my profile expired yesterday. Phew!
