The trusty Toyota that&amp;rsquo;s been my faithful friend since college has finally failed me. As luck would have it, also in the middle of the night and middle of no where. I coasted to a stop along the side of the heavily wooded two lane highway. Smoke pouring from under the hood I reach for my cell, No service! This is getting better by the minute. Think Mark, wait, walk who knows&amp;hellip; I exit my vehicle and wait, zero cars, one hour then two. Screw it ! I&amp;rsquo;m walking somewhere.

Lights in the distance through the woods. I turned and followed down a long drive way.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
