As predicted (by me), our house is the hang out after school for junior high (we are a block away).  Every day after school, there are usually a handful of boys playing basketball in our drive way.  Alex and his friends from school.

Today, the basket ball play did not happen.  Our Volvo is stuck in the driveway, directly under the basket ball hoop.  The car starts and can go forward, but, is unable to reverse.  

Must get Volvo to work (or move).  It seems to be cramping Alex's social life.
