Stuck in Jersey! [23 Dec 2007 | 1930 EST]

It's freezing. It's raining...hard. It's windy, really windy.

And we're stuck in the middle of nowhere in New Jersey.

Our fancy Chrysler PT Cruiser quit on the way back from Rosanne's sister's place. We waited for about 45 minutes, but no one from Budget came a-callin'.

Luckily, we got another of Rosanne's sisters to drive her mother home and we tried to make our way to the mother's place.

The car stopped thrice, and each time we would coast to the side of the road, wait for a little bit, and start it up again.

Finally, it died right at the intersection before the 295 South (whew...imagine if we had actually gotten on the 295 South).

A Good Samaritan stopped to help us push our car off the main road and now we sit here waiting for the tow truck to come all the way from Philadelphia.

To summarize: it's raining, it's freezing, it's windy, it's the Holidays so no one is around, we're a couple of kids stuck in the middle of nowhere...right in front of a behavioral health care facility...

OMG!

Isn't "behavioral health care facility" an euphemism for an insane asylum.

OMG!

Isn't this how horror movies begin...
