Rescued... now off again

[jay]

Whew. Stranded in the dark with kids and Pat on the shoulder of I-5 near Coalinga... for hours... that wasn't fun. The tow cost me $155 and truck showed up around 2am... he dropped us off at the next exit, with whatever we could unload while the car was still lifted. Fortunately there was a motel with a room available... we crashed for a couple of hours there.

Meanwhile... my sweetie rocks. I sent an SOS to tenacious_snail... and she went to the airport, rented a minivan that could hold us all and our stuff at 1am, and drove the 2-1/2 hours alone down to rescue us, arriving around 4:45am. We loaded and she dropped us at home by 7:30am... watching a beautiful sunrise.

I showered, changed, re-packed and then Les picked me up at 8:30am to go to SFO airport for my flight to Atlanta...

tenacious_snail most definitely rocks. So glad you all made it back safely... What a day!

If I am going to keep rocking like this, do you think I need to find a geologist to take a look at me?

heh... I know of at least one who would greatly enjoy it, albeit without hammer or dropper bottle. A hand lens might be fun, though...

thank you, dear.

Arrangements have been made with Pat for Kevin's overnight and geocaching. I've returned the rental car with utter ease, and am working on catching up on sleep.

I feel happy, loved, and glad to be part of such a wonderful network of friends/lovers/family.
