<-Dead Car Getting a Lift
Ray and I carpooled today, and on our way home from picking up Chloe, having dinner, and running some errands, his car just stopped working. Right on our way up a hill. A nice man helped push the car into the parking lot of City Hall (which was right nearby).
I called AAA, and they said it would be about an hour for a tow truck to come and pick up the car (it was actually about an hour and a half). Luckily, one of the AAA guys heard the call on the radio and came by and tried to help us fix it. He eventually figured out it was the timing belt, so he couldn't help us get going (he seemed genuinely disappointed, too). But he was nice enough to take Ray up the hill to our place and have him get my car so we could all get back home after they towed his car.
I have to say that Chloe was a real trooper - she didn't complain once, and was in fact very upbeat and positive. And I just have to say how grateful I am that I had AAA coverage, that people were very kind and helpful, and we all made it home safely.
Now to figure out how the logistics on fixing the car and carpooling until the car is fixed...
