all that being said, knock on wood

Some believe that breaking a mirror or crossing the path of a black cat can lead to years, seven to be specific of bad luck.
Although I do not remember either of these things occurring; it appears that at some point in time I must have smashed a mirror to tiny little fragments.
In the past month I have had not one, but two flat tires, and a very close almost. Three or four tries with my windshield and its still not right, something called an EGR go wrong, and a problem with really high acceleration and I am not talking about speeding.
And on top of all of these things I now have a broken alternator and a dead battery.
And those are just the things that have gone wrong with my car. We haven’t even started on the rest of my life.
How it’s possible for all of these things to happen to just one person, I don’t know.
