Got Fuel?

This afternoon we were heading to the doctor for Joshua's allergy shot. We are driving down the road and as I am going through the round about the van dies. I managed to get out of the round about and pull off to the side of the road and call Joe. So Joe comes out to get us, and he can't get the van to start either. He thinks that the engine threw a rod, so I am all worried wondering what we will do about that, but he tells me to run home and get the gas can and to come back and we will see if the van is out of gas. I tell him that I had driven the van earlier and hadn't had any problems with it, so he want to know why I didn't fill the tank while I was out running around earlier today. I didn't fill up because I figured that we would do that before we left for Ogden tomorrow.

Well I am never going to live this down because I had just run out of gas! I feel really dumb now.

I have to say that I am really disappointed in the people of Idaho Falls. In all the time that I sat and waited for Joe to come 1 person out of probably hundreds stopped and asked me if I needed help, and the same thing happened while Joe was waiting for me to come back with the gas can. Thanks to the two gentlemen who stopped to help.
