A Great Paradox

Monday morning, Miriam and I went to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy with Claudia and Myelle and family. It was fantastic. Afterwards it was dark and rainy, so I turned on my headlights. When I got home, I was so focused on a very tired little girl who is transitioning to one nap a day that I forgot to turn off the headlights. So it came as no surprise that when we got into the car to go to the library that afternoon that the car did not start. No problem. We'll go to the library another day. When Brent got home, we went back out to jump the car but the hood did not pop open. The cable that opens the hood seems to be broken somewhere between the lever to pop it open and the latch that pops. So what I have is a car that needs to be taken in to get the hood fixed but before we can take it in, we need to get the hood open so we can jump it, but before we can jump it, we need to take it in to get the hood open...
