Update: Franklin, TN

Having a nice, relaxing day in Franklin after a 12-hour road trip (that started with a hectic 2-hour scramble to get out of the apartment). So today I'm enjoying puppy time, good talks with close friends, slightly cooler weather... and car trouble.

Or, I should say, devious car trouble. I got a quick oil change from a place that promises you'll be "in and out in 15 minutes." They of course pitched several hundred dollars worth of more work my way, which I expected and politely declined.

They added, "Be sure to come back in if any lights come on in the next few days."

Lo and behold, at (literally) the 11th hour of yesterday's trip, multiple dash lights come on: Check Engine, Check Brakes, Cruise Control, etc.

After a little bit of panic and chatting with folks on Facebook, a friend recommended I disconnect/reconnect my battery. Voila! Warning lights are gone.

I hate shady people. I'm grateful for knowledgeable friends, and social media.
