And this is how I spent my Saturday.

Fletcher's doesn't tow, but they can fix 'im. Good to know. Step 2: call for a tow. And I think perhaps in this case my auto insurance company may be able to help.

Several hours later...

It was the battery.

Hmmm... did you leave something on? Or was the door ajar? If not, you might want to make sure you've got jumper cables with you.

I have a brand-new battery now. I have no idea how old that one was. I have a happy little emergency bag that has jumper cables. It's been giving me troubles on startup for a few weeks; now with the new battery there are no problems whatsoever.

He's due routine maintenance, though.

Super! I didn't want to have to worry about you getting stuck out in the desert...

Oh man, I nearly commented that ours had done something similar and it turned out to be a broken cell in the battery itself, but then I figured no way that could happen twice to me and people I know. I am sorry.
