THAT had to be fun! Not! Hope your repair is inexpensive!
An add on to this, after all was said and done I told Karl "I'm not cooking - swing by Church's Chicken and we'll grab something".
So, directly across the street from there, there was this little Mexican fast food place with police cars and police SUV's surrounding it and blocking every entrance. Firetruck and ambulance, and I mean a LOT of police just swarming the place. We see a guy in those pretty plastic cuffs sitting on the curb, and we're trying to figure out why there's a guy arrested and a fire truck is necessary (no fire).
Watch the news later, and they had chased an armed fugitive there, he tried to get away, dragged an officer and exchanged fire. So, yeah - an interesting day to say the least! LOL
But - there's a rosy side to everything - reflecting back, I remember how awesome the police officer was who pushed me, how sweet the girl was at the store that let me use their phone, how nice the tow truck company owner was that he picked me up himself so I wouldn't have to wait, and how the Firestone worked late to try to help me. I was struck with just how NICE everyone was and how that kept me from getting too frazzled.
