I was about a mile off the interstate, there really wasn't ANY good place
to stop or turn around.  The snow was built up level to the road, so it
looked kind of like they were shoulders.  Then, the next thing I know,
I'm tilted and sinking fast.  :-)

No problem since I have my cell phone, but...  I have *NO* fricking idea
where I am.  AAA asks if I remember the towns I've seen and I fail.
I ask if they can take a longitude and lattitude (GPS card handy), they
can't.  Finally ask somone coming by where I am.

It took them 90 minutes to get somone out to me (I was just happily hacking
in the back with the furnace on :-).  Unfortunately, I had to keep
climbing out every time somone came by.  Dang pesky helpful motorists.  :-)

Need to get that scrolling LED sign...  "Please move along.  Help is on the
way.  I'm fine, I'm warm...  I'm programming...  LEAVE ME ALONE."  :-)
