216: Rachel rescued her children


Listen Later

Many years ago, I had a small pickup truck. It was kind of a

junker.

 

Mostly, I just used it for when I had some stuff to haul to

the town dump. It wasn’t pretty but it mostly served my purposes.

 

But this little truck had a problem. It would constantly

overheat.

 

Even in the cold Maine winter, I would have to keep an eye

on that temperature gauge to be aware of when the engine got too hot. And
sometimes when it showed that it was getting really hot, I’d have to just pull
over, let it cool down, and then maybe add some coolant to the radiator – once
it was cooled down enough for me to remove the cap.

 

It was an inconvenience sometimes, but I never felt like I

was in danger with it.

 

My guest today is Rachel. And she experienced something

similar. Except in her case, she was on a bridge with no breakdown lane. And
her two babies were with her.

 

And her car did way more than just overheat.
