I'm glad you are safe at home while you wait for the battery, BK. A couple years ago, I was ready to leave the church when one of our members who was probably 93 (she's 100 now) had a dead battery. In Phoenix. In July. It was probably 115 degrees. I waited with her inside until AAA came. She's actually lucky I was still there.
I have had to wait on the side of the freeway for a tow when I had a tire blow out. That was scary.
