From September 11, 2011

Our car caught on fire. We pulled over to the side of the road on Labor Day weekend, into this woman's driveway. She pointed to her neighbor's yard and said his garage was a Mexican grocery store. Sure enough, it was. I bought tortilla chips and tried not to cry while missing Monica and Katrina's wedding.

Here's her fiancé. Robin calls that hat a fedora, but I thought it was a wizard hat. They were very concerned about us, while we waited for AAA in the rain. It took three hours. We hopped a train 5 hours later, and then the train stopped for a tornado.
The couple pulled tomatoes out of their garden for us and said that humans should treat each other that way. That even insects should be treated well.
