Welcome back to what have you. I am Rachel Jenkins. I came back a miracle. And that's all we have for you today. That's it. It's a wrap. Yeah, that'll do. We showed up.

0:22.0

We did. We're here because alluding to the fact that I was supposed to meter at 130 and I was in town at 125 and thought to myself, why am I here?

0:34.0

I don't know what I'm doing here. I should go home and I went home and then she called me and I had to come back because I forgot our engagement to do this.

0:42.0

But I made it. I made it. We're going to do this thing. Yeah, I'm going to solve this problem. Indeed.

0:48.0

So in spite of my great advice to everyone to get ahead on Christmas all the time, I got ahead on parts of Christmas and other parts of it are feeling like frenzied mayhem that somehow I didn't.

1:04.0

I'm really surprised we're in the middle of December. The fact that you're having frenzied mayhem about Christmas shows that you're ahead of me. Rachel, I forgot. Did I tell you about my last drive to the airport?

1:16.0

You did not but mom told me about it, but you tell that you can tell our loyal listeners about it. I know that you listeners like to hear about my front times between here and the airport.

1:28.0

But I had to go up there on Monday afternoon to pick up Ben. And it was not bad. It was like at 4.30. And so we were going to be home by 6. And I didn't have to leave till you know 3.

1:41.0

So I was going to simply go home and put a dinner in the oven and drive to Spacan and get my husband and come back and we were going to have a really delicious dinner that I had made a grocery order for.

1:53.0

So then I inadvertently said collect from the store instead of delivery. So then I go there and then they have said, oh you can't have any meat because we don't have that.

2:06.0

So now you've bought all the ingredients for a specific dish that now doesn't have the meat. So I go charging off to another store and I go running in and it's pretty blusherty.

2:19.0

Much like it is right now. It's like really snowing. And I'm starting to do the calculations of like, I'm going to need to leave earlier than I thought I was going to have to leave.

2:29.0

And now I'm driving hither and feather and buying bits of meat. And at the end of it, it was time to leave for the airport and I had a car full of groceries and no chance to put them in the oven.

2:42.0

So it was already kind of being like that in the world. You know, you start the day feeling like this will be very organized and luxurious time.

2:52.0

Anyway, I take off for Spacan. And this is like 90 miles and how much of it do you think is not in cell phone coverage?

3:02.0

Like a significant middle section. There's a good 45 minutes, it seems like maybe not 30 minutes where you probably can't be helping yourself to phone calls.

3:11.0

So you're out of service and you're on little windy country back roads. I mean, it's a highway, but it's a little too lane thing.

3:23.0

So anyhow, I'm driving cautiously because it's the kind of snow that sucks you in if you drive, if you get your wheels like in the outside.

3:34.0

And it was so slick. I have never, I've driven into that airport in every weather imaginable. And I have never seen this many dust steps on the road.

3:47.0

I think we had one time where we went where it was like that just shock and awe how many things were going on.

3:53.0

So two separate incidents of a tow truck in the road trying to hook up to a car to pull them out of a ditch.

4:00.0

That I come around the corner, there's just a car loose in the ditch and this man sitting there.
