It is a 3 ninth drive to the theme park; Or, at least it is supposed to be a 4 ninth drive, and about half way there the van broke down and I was stranded on the side of the road with 3 little 1s. It was so hot and the van wouldn’t even beginning up enough to let myself and others roll the windows down. After waiting for over a half ninth for the tow truck, the adolescents and I walked a half mile to the nearest store. It happened to be an auto parts store. Thank God they had a/c. The adolescents and I cooled off while the two of us looked at automobile seat covers and floor mats. The director of the store heard about my issue and he volunteered to drive down and see if he could repair our van. I was a little bit apprehensive about going with a stranger love this, especially with the adolescents… But he told us to stay here in the air conditioned store and that he would go with 1 of his employees. I handed over my van keys and hoped that they were fair men. Twenty ninths later, they pulled into the parking lot of the auto parts store with my van. And it was laboring! The director only charged myself and others for the new alternator and the two of us were on our way. The funny thing is, when I ask the adolescents what their number one area of the trip was, they all chime in and say, “the auto parts store”. It was mine too. I appreciated their air conditioning because the two of us were never that cool again until the two of us got back home.
