Sadly, somethings don't last forever!

Today I went to work. Drove some tie backs out to Rachael at Power and the 60. Went back to work. Finished some drapes. Drove out to Ironwood and the 60. Was driving back to work to do more drapes and oopps. Just before the Greenfield exit the car just shut off. Coasted, coasted, and coasted a little more. Didn't quite make the exit. Pulled to the side. Popped the hood. Belts were all still on and in one piece, got back in tried to restart the car. Nope. Checked for over heating, no running just in the middle where it always runs. Locked it up and walked to the QT. Called Rachael to tell her I wouldn't be able to do the drapes. Called Mikie, who called Omar to come rescue me. He also asked me if the motor would turn, in layman's terms, did it say rr rr rr rr... or weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, when I tried to start it. Rr rr rr rr rr rr rr was the answer. Then I bought a newspaper, soda and walked back to the car. Omar was fast. I didn't even read a whole article before he was there. Do you know that if the chain between you and the truck is 6-7 feet long, in a Geo you can only see the tail gate, the driver's hand (barely) and nothing else. An adventure for sure, but we arrived safely home and he helped me push the Geo up into it's parking spot. There it will wait, not too patiently, for Mikie to work his magic. I really just want to drive forever. No gas, no problems, just drive, in this instance we have an speed bump in the road. I do love to drive. The Geo suites me perfectly. Still one tank of gas a week. Though 12 years ago it was only 8 dollars to fill it up. Last week it was 25. Our income hasn't quadripled did I miss something? I'm sure we will be back on the road next week until then I have other options for running the roads.
