I've been saved by CaliforniaPeggy. CP apprieciation thread.
Ignoring my E for empty gas gage I loaded up the kids to take our daughter and her friend to dance class. Due to the cost of gas we bought a '69 VW bug and this was the first tank, and I figured that I had a mile or so on the bottom of reserve, my kids thought it best to stop first.

We got about 1/2 mile before our "punch-buggy" gasped then sputtered out. It sucks to be second guessed by your (new) kids, and much crow was eaten.

THANK YE GODS that CaliforniaPeggy lives a couple of blocks from where I ran out of gas and she was there in a nano-second. She scooped us up, dropped the girls off at their dance studio, and ran me to my house and back to my parched beetle, with my trusty can O' gas.

My Savior:



Post if you loves your CaliforniaPeggy.

1. Yes indeed.
Peggy is one of the good ones.

How fortunate that you were so close to her house. And how wonderful of her to help out!

She is greatly admired not only by me but I suspect by everyone she comes in contact with.

:hug:

10. Love for CP
She sent a very welcoming email inviting me to the lounge a few months back.

Bc of rumors I was afraid to enter but she assured me y'all wouldn't bite at least not too hard anyway. Although I mostly lurk y'all do make me laugh tons and I'm glad she dropped me a line.

18. Did you at least have some hot sauce with that crow?
Last time I went to MN I flew out of LAX. I parked near her house and she drove me to the airport. Saved me about 200 in parking fees or cab fare!

:loveya: Peggy.
