Out of gas

This morning I was out of gas, mentally, physically and literally.

It's been a busy two weeks for me. There hasn't seemed to be a restful moment.

So, this morning, I was exhausted and looking forward to only working part of the day.

I KNEW that the gas tank on the Blazer was pretty much on E. But, I figured I might have enough to get to the gas station.

As I was pulling into the median to cross the highway to get gas, I realized that I had no power steering on the Blazer.

I looked down and realized that the Blazer wasn't running . . . . oops.

I cranked it . . . and it didn't start. Now, I wasn't worried about our safety (I had Wyatt with me) because we were in the median and literally right across from the gas station. But, I was a little apprehensive.

I cranked it again and it started. I scooted across the highway and hoped I wouldn't have to circle around the lot to find an open pump on the correct side of the truck.

We barely got pulled up to the pump when the truck died again . . . but we made it.

Earlier this week, as I was taking Wyatt to his Nana's, I came to a stop sign and saw the funniest thing.




Keep in mind, this intersection is at Farr Road and Anderson Road. Farr is a gravel road that runs thru the edge of the forestry between Old 37 and Anderson. It is really out in the middle of nowhere. I took pictures around it to illustrate it.









Why is it suddenly sitting there?
