This post is coming to you from McDonald's, home of the golden arches, in Pittsburgh and there's more...
I'm typing on my phone and it's taking for ever. All a little strange, right?
I was in the 'burgh visiting my cousins over the weekend. Then we got a crazy snow storm so I stayed an extra day because I didn't have to teach the last 2 days. We went shopping (no sales tax in PA, yay!), watched movies and I got to play with my lil' cousins. It was much needed time spent with my family and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Everything was going swell until I started my trip home. My check engine light came on as soon as I startes my car. Dud! I called my friend Dave because he is a car guru. He said it's probably no big deal, most likely an electrical thing and I'd be ok to drive home.
All was well until I was on the road and my phone beeped saying that there was only 15% left of the battery. No big deal, I just plugged it into the car charger and kept on crusin'. 10 minutes later... beep, beep, beep- 10% left. I looked at the charger and noticed that the light wasn't on... which means that it wasn't charging. Uggghhh Oh! I connected the dots and I'm guessing that the check engine light is probably telling me that I blew a fuse and that fuse just had to be the charger fuse.
The next exit had a McDonald's and so I got off the highway. I wouldn't have been so concerned about my phone dying but the weather wasn't the best, my check engine light was on and I was driving alone. I figured it was smart to charge it.... ya know, just in case.
So here I am 40 minutes, a large coffee and my first blog entry written on my phone later finally charged up and ready to get back on the road.

Oh boy, bad combo. You did the smart thing though...always need that phone charged just in case! Atleast you can enjoy a coffee while being inconvenienced. :)
