Rescue


Another picture from the iphone. My van broke down on the diagonal. Somehow I knew to cut the airconditioning (in 100 degree weather) and cut my speed. Because I didn't want to be stranded on the side of a highway I limped off the first exit which put me by Gail's house. Luckily Gail was home (and answered the door even though she knew it was me!) and gave me a lift home. The next day both Dan and Gail helped rescue me with the tow truck etc. They were more there for moral support than anything. Turned out that the water pump froze and it snapped the serpentine belt. How I was able to drive it without power steering is not known. I was lucky and there wasn't any other engine damage!
