Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things to Do While Stuck in a Ditch Waiting for a Tow Truck From CAA that will never show up:

1. Freeze.

2. Crawl in and out of the driver side window because the passenger side is sticking up in the air.

3. Play Texas Hold 'Em on the cell phone.

4. Wonder if there is any damage to the front end of the car buried in a couple feet of snow.

5. Get exercise by kicking oneself for not slowing down more.

6. Wonder why the rear seat of cop cars has so little foot space so that you can barely even get your feet in.

7. Marvel at the number of people who actually stop to make sure you are ok.

8. Curse at CAA for not coming out until the roads have been plowed and salted.

9. Watch as the windows slowly fog up as it car cools down and your breathing condenses and freezes on them.

10. Wonder how you are going to explain this to the wife without the words "snow drift" and "huge" because that excuse is wasted on the last time.

11. Think about calling your boss and simply telling him you are having car trouble.

12. Groan when a co-worker passes by in his car and recognizes you. After he makes sure you are ok he leaves with a grin on his face and you know he's going to love telling this at the office.

13. Take pictures.
