Here we go...... or no longer go.... as the case may be

Today has been a bit of a crazy day. I ran some errands early in the morning. Ok maybe not too early - It IS Saturday. Came back and drove a student to the bank and returned a movie.

When I returned to campus the Internet was down all over the campus so I made some phone calls about that.

Then some girls wanted to go shopping and as I was driving off campus onto the main road my car lost power. Fortunately my new insurance offers towing coverage and I had my car towed to the shop reccommended by Peter, the maintenance supervisor. Unfortunately since it is Saturday I won't know the cost of the damage until Monday.

I am very thankful that I was only about a block from campus when I broke down. As I was waiting for the tow truck - 2 people stopped and asked if I needed help. I was right in front of what we called the Ownex.... our off campus housing. Laura, the assistant dean, went with me to the shop. As we were all waiting for the tow truck, Brad and Cheryl (A professor and our new business manger) just happened to be driving by and stopped. God is good.

Fortunately right now there are some other vehicles on campus I can drive kids in right now.
