Being balanced... and being neurotic

I took my car to the dealership this morning (after the Netherlands vs. Brazil game, of course... Hup Holland Hup!). My check maintenance light was on, and I also needed them to check my tires. I keep having to fill up the back ones. Turns out there were nails in both.

One was pluggable, one wasn't. The tires there were super-expensive, so I decided I'd get the replacements elsewhere. On my way out, the service guy told me that since they plugged the one, I could just have the other replaced with the same brand tire.

What?! Only replace one of my back tires?!

The idea of replacing one and not the other is really disturbing for me. Why? Because I'm neurotic, and I hate things to be unbalanced. If I'm going to replace one back tire, I want to replace the other one. If I get one hand wet, the other's gonna need it too. Seriously, I'm a nut job about these kinds of things. But I also don't want to fork over $100 if I don't have to. So I guess I'll have an unbalanced car and try not to think about it.

So, now, my point...

My rad friend Annie often says, "All things in moderation, including moderation."

I think this applies to balance too... Balance is good, but you have to have balance with balance. I'm gonna work on this.
