Sorry, but I'd say that's a bigger risk to your health and well being than getting covid from a masked tow truck driver with open windows.

I'm glad you're alright, Fluffy.

Second that ^.

But she survived the night. Must have been chilly. I’m about 90 minutes away in Henderson. It was pretty chilly last night. Lucky the weather is pretty nice today. If I’d seen your post last night I would have done some searches to see if I could help you. I know someone vaguely in Kingman.

Hoping your ex gets there soon.

I never said it was good humor...

Glad to hear you're keeping your sense of humor. I wish I had a constructive comment, but I don't.

Congratulations, you gave me my first belly laugh of the day. I really needed that!

This story, as well as those stuck on 95 in VA for a day, made me glad that I always have an emergency kit in my trunk. Included is a blanket, hand and toe warmers from Walmart, a few bottled waters and some snacks. Slim Jims are not healthy but they can curb hunger in a pinch.
I also always have jumper cables and a tire inflator. I suggest you all do the same.

Fluffy do you know what the plan is once he gets there? Stuck spending time with him while you guys work out the repairs? He takes you to L.V. in the rental car so you can hop on a plane and get to your medical appointment??

I hope you thank your husband profusely for driving 14 hours through the night to rescue you (which wasn't really necessary.)

Ooh, that's an oldie and a goodie. 1969. That Was the Year That Was, to steal a phrase from Tom Lehrer. He's still alive. 93. I guess he retired from Uncle Charlie's Summer Camp (UC Santa Cruz) some time ago.


Name your favorite Tom Lehrer song. Here's mine:
