Wish I'd known you were there. I woulda called. We pulled into the Springfield Metro that morning and the transmission went out in my car ~completely out of fluid. Rather than let it ruin the day, we went on. But it took us a while to get it going again, and I shouldn't have driven it back to Richmond.
Ooooh, I remember it was a soggy, cold day. You had car trouble on top of that? Yikes!
