There are things to be thankful for. When my car battery died this evening, it died while I was still in the alleyway, rather than in the street. I had both my cell phone and my AAA card. The weather was neither wet nor bitterly cold. The coolest person in the world was available and willing to drive me home after choir rehersal.
Yup. Car battery. Died. While in motion. Fun.
My big adventure included discovering (after waiting 45 minutes) that for some reason AAA had sent the tow truck for me at Main Street in Deerfield. Deerfield? What? Who the heck said anything about Deerfield? Madison. M-A-D-I-S-O-N. Oy.
I also was reminded that most people are basically nice, and will stop to offer assistance.
