Say what you will about this place but angels live here

Traveling home last night my car died in the middle of Bellaire boulevard. I mean DIED – all electrical off so NO lights – even the flashers were dead and the steering wheel locked because i put it in park to try and restart.

I was flummoxed – traffic was oncoming and i had no ideas on what to do. Panic started setting in when a sweet man ran up and offered to help. He starts trying to get the car into neutral asking me where the override was. My teenager is more on the ball and YouTubes the location of the button.

While they are doing this I’m waving off traffic. The man’s wife shouts to me to turn on my phone light and comes over to help me manage the oncoming cars.

Team one in the car finds the override and gets the steering wheel unlocked. Then the husband and wife (and my teen) get me behind the wheel and start pushing the car to safety around the corner. As we rounded the corner i tried restarting again and Lo! I have power. I put on my flashers and braked to a stop.

I barely had time to say thank you to them as they left quickly seeing that we were powered up and a parking lot was a few feet away.

So i wanted to tell y’all this story as a way to express my gratitude to my guardian angels.
