The car broke down in the middle of El Camino Real.  We felt something go in the engine and T was able to crawl into the turn lane before it died.  And there we sat (extra) with a car full of groceries during rush hour.  Hazard lights on and we put cones out.  Amazing how people can’t/don’t see either.  AAA came in 50 mins, dispatcher had said the tow truck would take us both home in the cab of the truck, of course that wasn’t true (only room for 1) so I walked home.  Still smoky but thankfully a lot cooler.
