Last thing, I really appreciate you being here. And I'd really love if you would follow the podcast

and come

back again soon. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy. I spent the night at my girlfriend's house one night,

and had to leave really early in the morning to go to work. So early, it was still dark outside

when I left, and would be for a few more hours. She lived in a rural town about 60 miles from my

house and work, and when I got in my car and started driving, there wasn't the usual street

lights lining the roads to guide me. The only light came from my headlights.

About ten miles into my drive, my car started to slow down, and eventually came to a stop.

I first checked my gas, and it was almost full.

I am not very car trouble savvy, so I dug my phone out of my jacket pocket

and swiped the screen. Nothing happened. I realized that my phone was dead, and immediately after

that, I came to the realization that I had forgot to plug it in last night before I went to sleep.

So here I was, stuck in my car, on the side of a rural street, pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

I started thinking of things to do.

I could start walking.

No, horrible idea.

It was very dark out here, and I wouldn't be able to see anything while walking,

and on top of that, I could get hit by a car. I concluded the only thing I could do was sit in

my car and wait for daylight, which is a very stressful and scary thing to have to come to terms with.
