car trouble

[low_delta]

I was going to make it to work almost on time, but my car didn't start. I was rather surprised to hear a click when I turned the key. I tried it again and there was nothing. I really don't know why. The battery was old, but I always figured I have some warning, like it would have trouble turning over one day, but it was fine yesterday and dead today.

Fortunately I have a battery charger, so I let it sit for about five minutes and it started. Since I'm not sure what drained it, I put the charger and some jumper cables in the car and parked close to the building. We'll see what happens.
