216: Rachel rescued her children

Many years ago, I had a small pickup truck. It was kind of a junker. Mostly, I just used it for when I had some stuff to haul to the town dump. It wasn’t pretty but it mostly served my purposes. But this little truck had a problem. It would constantly overheat. Even in the cold Maine winter, I would have to keep an eye on that temperature gauge to be aware of when the engine got too hot. And sometimes when it showed that it was getting really hot, I’d have to just pull over, let it cool down, and then maybe add some coolant to the radiator – once it was cooled down enough for me to remove the cap. It was an inconvenience sometimes, but I never felt like I was in danger with it. My guest today is Rachel. And she experienced something similar. Except in her case, she was on a bridge with no breakdown lane. And her two babies were with her. And her car did way more than just overheat.
