nights like these

Yesterday was turning out to be a terrific day.. Granted I was in meetings all day , but they were good meetings. So after work(6pm) I went to hang out with some friends doing a work project (i'll tell you about that project in a later blog) . It was still proving to be a good day. I couldn't hang out long because I needed to pick Jason C-upp up from the airport after his multi- week trip for work.
As i'm pulling in to the terminal my car just stops mid- drive --no signs, no warning -nothing..
So jason's plane has landed--he's waiting for me. I call him and tell him the situation--he starts laughing uncontrollably. He tells me that he has his camera(the one day I didn't bring mine) and he will be bringing it to take pics of my sic car. While I was trying to figure out what I was going to do an ambulance and police car pull up behind me with full lights.. Everybody is staring, pointing and gawking.. ok maybe not gawking ,but I wanted to use that word in conversation. The Police officer comes over and says Ma'am what seems to be the problem--it looks like you're stuck.. well thank you Captain obvious . No actually he was nice and gave me a ride and free tow to lot G (which just in case you were wondering is actually the capital of B.F.E) Well -- it was so bizzare everyone was very nice.. Even the tow truck driver felt bad for me he wanted me to drive around with him all night to stay warm.. (very creepy so i said no) .. To make a long story short we found someone to look at the car not before our Ethiopian cab driver picked us up to take us to Zona Rosa at Tom Foolories so we could laugh over drinks.
