• Hmmmm....that was strange.  On the way to taking Dmitry on his
  weekly trek to Blockbuster I lowered my driver's side window so as to
  wave at the car behind me (said vehicle's driver kindly let me in when
  the lane I was in closed for construction).

  Couldn't get it to go back up.

  This is how dumb *I* am:  I tried putting it down a little further
  at least twice more, just to prove that by golly, the window won't go up. 

  Finally wound up with the window close to 2/3 of the way down. 
  The passenger side door worked fine....it was just mine that refused to
  head north.  Called the dealership's service department and was
  told they'd have to disassemble the door to be able to see what's wrong
  with it, and if they can at least get the window back up.  But
  3:30 on a Friday afternoon?  Doubtful they could get to it today.

  Well, joy.  We headed home, with me periodically tormenting myself
  by trying to get the window to go up.  Nope.  Nothing. 
  Was wondering how the Glad Press-and-Seal would work as a temporary
  covering when I pulled into the driveway and tried again for no
  particularly good reason.

  It worked. 

  Of course, I have no idea what went wrong with the dumb thing in the
  first place, but with luck I can keep from rolling it down until next
  week, when I'll go ahead and take it in to be looked at.  It's
  under warranty right now, so may as well be proactive.  Eventually
  I'll need to put the darn thing down again.

  It was really very strange.
