Yes, I considered all that! But -- too late. A cooler head (where did that come from?) prevailed and I decided to tool over there tomorrow the moment they open, at 11 a.m. I had this image of me riding Lucky home in the dark, without so much as a rear view mirror let alone a headlight, and getting run over by a bus, or finding an unknown sewer grate, or whatever.
Hard as it is, I'm waiting until tomorrow. And man -- it's hard!
