It is now 3:48am and I just got home.  After I dropped Dana off, I went 
back to meet the wrecker and pick up my Hubby at the dealership where they 
were taking the van.  Guess what!!!   They were not there yet.........so I 
waited a while then decided maybe they were around in front instead of at 
the  service department.    When I drove around front, low and behold, they 
were not there either.  Then I drove around the whole grounds which is 
about 4 or 5 city blocks per side, back to where  I started from and they 
still were not there.   I forgot to tell you that at one time during this 
evening, while I was talking on my cell phone the battery pooped out and 
was now DEAD.

At this point I am sitting there trying to figure out which way to go and 
for what reason, when I see the security guard driving down the driveway 
next to the building  I am parked in front of.  Thinking fast, I flashed my 
lights at him, once, twice, thrice and finally in a flurry of flashes as he 
drove on around the corner.  For a price  I can give you the name of a 
dealership that has very lax security!  During the next few minutes I sat 
there communing with the Gods, trying to find out which one I had offended 
badly enough to deserve this treatment; after giving up and deciding it was 
cruel and unusual punishment, I had started to back out and come 
home.  Just as I did this the suck truck came up with my van and my 
hubby.  With a lot of effort and jockeying of position, he finally got my 
van unloaded, gave us a bill, refused credit card payment, wanted cash but 
couldn't make change and settled for a personal check (without asking for 
drivers license).  I took my hubby and fled for home. All the cats were 
starved and the dogs eye teeth were floating but they survived.  Now I am 
to awake to go to sleep and Spartacus will be over in 35 
minutes.  Damn.  Oh yes, I will have to talk to the dealership early in the 
am and tell them why my van is sitting on their doorstep.

Another fun night with Dana and Bicé in the van!
