A Driving Scare

A bit of a scare: needing to get change for a Girl Scout candy order, I used my lunch to run to the gas station. I didn't use my seat belt, thinking it was only a little more than a mile. Unfortunately, the driver door latch must have frozen in place and failed to catch, because the door flew open as I turned left. No harm done, but crikey it was a near thing - I had to stop and jimmy the latch free to complete the drive.
