I usually travel in busy urban traffic, so I think I'll be OK. Have you ever seen Joy Ride?

That's right. It is about a serial killing truck driver. Two guys play a cruel prank on a man who turned out to be deranged lunatic, and the rest of the movie is a horrific game of revenge on the highway, in which the only communication between cat and mice is over the truck radios. I saw it with a couple of cult member friends, and we all highly enjoyed it.

I got most of the things that have been suggested--car jack, jumper cables, flashlight, flares, lug wrench, blanket, and I also got myself a spare tire. I didn't get the miscellaneous fluids that seebs suggested. I don't know what kind to get and I wouldn't know whether or not they are needed even if they are needed at some point. I didn't get the AAA membership either, but I'll look into it.

So I was driving home at night in the cold. And I almost hit a large steel square storm drain grate in the middle of the lane. I stop the car, turn on the hazard lights, back up, and get out. I don't know how it got there, but this grate is three inches thick and three feet long on each. So I dragged that thing back into the mouth of the catch basin and kicked it into place. Anyone could have hit it, crashed into a tree killing their kids, or careened into a homeless man. So after I thought about that, I changed my mind and dragged it back into the road. Just kidding, I left it in the catch basin.

Now is a very good time to pay it forward through the Red Cross. Give what you can, they need you.
