Ninth Time's a Charm, They Say

So, Stacey wrote a blog post over there on the right ... that's my right looking out at you and actually your left while you're looking in ... entitled "What Happened," revealing what happened. But she didn't tell the whole story. And I haven't been able to get much sleep the last week because of it.

The J-dogg's car was impounded when he was arrested. Yeah, she left that out of her little explanation over there. So, I got a power of attorney from J-dogg so I could get the car. Stacey thought the guy at the towing place was rude. I brought that up to the lady taking care of me ... needless to say, the police were almost called; but we were able to work things out. That's a whole other story.

The plan was that I would drive the car and park it in the lot across the street, where we had paid the monthly rate. That was the plan ... a twenty-minute drive from the towing place to the parking lot. In the meantime, Stacey was going to drive her car home. Instead, 20 minutes later, I was sitting on the side of a busy main thoroughfare, waiting for her to answer her phone so that I could tell her to come get me.

I ran out of gas.

For the love of all things.... have you NOT figured out yet that there is this thing called a GAS GAGE and when it gets near the E... STOP at the gas station and get gas.

And least you should forget... hang up your cell phone before pumping the gas; the lady in the window will yell at you if you don't!
