It's Not Over Yet. . .

qosThe day before I went on vacation, the battery light in my car came on. Unwilling (perhaps perversely) to worry about it the day before the adventure, I just left it.
This morning as I started for work, I noticed all the dashboard lights beginning to fade. I quickly got off the freeway, came home, and called my mechanic -- who isn't in the shop for another hour. (My alternator went out a couple of years ago, and I did not want a repeat of having all systems fading out to nothing and having to glide off the freeway.)
I may have to have my car towed about twenty miles. My mechanic works next to the old rocket shop, and I trust him implicitly. But it's a fair drive from my home or current work.
Fortunately, there's someone from work who lives near me, and who will be able to offer me a carpool once I get the car to the shop. . . but this morning is going to be difficult.
