On my way home from an in-store demo of the dragon beard candy, I started my car, and a warning light which I have never seen before was illuminated. I wasn't sure what it meant, but based on the hieroglyphics, I surmised that the problem was a taillight of some sort.
I thought that I should inspect the lights before I drove any meaningful distance, so I stopped my car just before leaving the parking lot and took a look. The lights seemed to be ok, and my turn signals checked out fine, and even the reverse gear lights seemed to be normal. So I decided to worry about the problem when I got home. Not really sure what to make of the issue, I tried jamming an umbrella against the brake pedal to see if it the problem would appear when the brakes were engaged.
Finally, I gave up, thinking the only option would be to have someone else take a look at the car. I shut down the engine, and got out of the car.
Suddenly, a thought occured to me.
I turned on the engine again. The indicator light did not illuminate this time.
It was merely a bug. The car needed to be rebooted.
