What can go wrong will go wrong...

My car randomly broke down on the side of the I-40 right by the guard rail... apparently the worst place to be stuck.  We called AAA, but since I'm towing a uhaul it's not covered under my plan so we had to call another tow truck company and were stuck on the side of the road for 45 minutes with semis and cars whizzing by in the heat and what looked like a swamp behind us. The tow truck driver was awesome and took us to the small town Brinkley, AR and brought us to the auto repair shop where luckily the owner happened to still be there after hours. The mechanic took a quick look at it and thinks at least our electric fan is shot because it smelled like an electrical fire, but there was also fluid leaking from the car so who knows. The awesome tow truck driver then took us to McDonalds to get some food and then to the nicest hotel in town because according to him there are some not very nice areas. We were instructed to stay in our hotel room and not to wander around town. The hotel is okay... kind of like a motel 6... and this is where I am now... I'll keep everyone updated on the progress tomorrow!!
