Causing Traffic Jam

     Oh man! Last night was sure a night to remember and learn from. So I had gone to the temple with a friend, but we didn't end up going in because it was late and they were closed. We just drove back home. I decided to drive back and just sit in the parking lot. My Engine Oil Pressure light kept coming on and off so I pulled over to add some oil to the car. I was feeling really good about myself because this young college guy had pulled over to help me, but I told him I was fine. He was really impressed that I was working on my car by myself, thanks dad!, so he watched me for a few minutes to make sure I was fine. He left with my number because...I guess he was really impressed. I felt like I was on cloud 9 because I had fixed my car by myself.

      Well I was on my way home right in between Pineview and old farm apartments when my car decided to stop working! I was at a stop light, in the turning lane with a motorcycle dude behind me, in a car that just stopped working. Super embarrassed, but I turned my hazard lights on and cycle man came over to see what happened. He told me to put the car in neutral and back it to the left side of the road. Well while he's directing/pushing my car these people decided to stop and watch. Pineview, Old Farm, traffic, and pedestrians. 

     Then a few more guys come to see if they can help. I was in the middle of the opposing traffic, they had stopped, and those guys who jumped out of their cars to help had created a traffic hault all because of me. And I was a bigger reason for the traffic jam too...I was in everyone's way. Anyways so people are watching, I'm on the phone with Jessica and she's watching from her apartment balcony, and the group of handy men are deciding what's wrong with my car. I just randomly put my car in drive and as soon as I did that I screamed because it decided to work! Then the group of men clapped along with other people. Motorcycle dude was in the middle of road clearing the area and telling me I can go. 

     I guess the moral of the story is...I'm good at getting attention, even if it's unwanted, and I'm really good at causing a traffic jam. I told my friend Buhler about the whole thing and he said I should be proud nonetheless. And you know what?? I am! I'm so proud that I kept my emotions in check, sorry for flipping you off Jessica, and it seriously could have been worse. I also learned that even if you don't do temple work and you just visit the temple ground it can be returned in blessings. I know I was being looked out for. 

    I think my car is fine now...I haven't driven it since last night. Hopefully it is and I don't cause a traffic jam in the middle of Main Street on my way to work. But through out the whole thing I laughed. I guess I was just high on the Holy Ghost and it didn't really get to me...that much. I did repent for language afterwords. Blessings on blessings.
