Stuck in a Snowbank
At about 4:00 pm, I drove my Chevy S-10 out to O"Reilly auto parts in Plymouth to see my brother. On the way back I drove through Clifford French Park to see the sights. Unfortunately I slid my S-10 into a snow bank. This was just before 5:00 p.m.
I waited and waited and prayed. Two vehicles drove by without stopping despite my having my 4-way flashers on.
Finally at about 5 p.m. a man Tony stopped. I borrowed his cell phone and called my wife who called our motoring plan.
Then I waited and waited. I would run the truck for 5 minutes to heat the cab up and then turn it off for 20.
At 6:20, Kathee came to get me. The towing companies are backed up for hours. We are home ... but the truck is still there. I have contacted Frankie's Towing and they are going to call us when they can meet us there to extricate the truck.

ReplyDeleteYour story doesn't mention where your own cell phone was...
@Tobin: Cell phone was charging beside my chair at home. First thing the wife said to me .. you were stupid to go out without your cell phone. Answer: Yup
