I was walking through a large city on my way to an apartment in the west end where I was staying. I thought I recognized a large building in the distance, some kind of department store. As I walked along I picked up a newsprint magazine. I was reading an article about the statue of liberty. Apparently, the Chinese had been hired to refurbish her. They were taking her apart to ship back to China. I thought the whole thing very suspicious. There were pictures of a giant ship and several different giant helicopters they had brought along to work on her. These looked like something our of 1950's science fiction comic books. They were manned by hordes of tiny Chinese.
I got in my car, the mini, and was demonstrating the [nonexistent] flat-tire self-repair system to someone (Bill A?). There was a button on the steering wheel I could use to deflate the tire. We got out of the car. In a minute, the tire re-inflated - just as advertised. I noticed that the car had a roof rack and a bike rack on the back [it doesn't]. The bike rack had its own set of tail lights, much larger than the actual car's, in case the bikes obscured the regular lights. These new lights would make the Mini look like a large SUV at night from behind.
Back at the apartment, I was trying to load film into my camera. The film was quite narrow and the leader kept breaking. I was getting very frustrated until I realized that it was really a digital camera, so I didn't need the film. I was chagrined at my idiocy.
Did this coincide with your "helping" S. change her tire? And I'm struck by all the technology in this dream!
