We reached a little town named Bagdad and stopped for gas. The RV wouldn't turn over.... well no worries, we hooked up the jumper cables....no luck. Upon further examination we realized the underlying issue was the alternator was missing its belt! We had a special comprehensive policy with all the frills, that we had purchased just in case of something like this... only to find out that when we called in for the included 'roadside assistance' they told us they couldn't have us towed until MONDAY! (NOTE: NEVER BUY PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE!)We were literally stuck at a gas pump! This was crazy, well we are do it yourself kind of people and we were not about to just spend the night at a gas station! So we drove to Autozone, bought a battery popped it in and we were mobile again, they assured us our Emergency Expense coverage would reimburse us for our hotel costs so we told them we would have it towed from a hotel close by, and we limped over there. AFTER we checked in, moved all our stuff and settled the kids in I checked my phone messages. GOOD NEWS! They were sending a tow truck already. I called in to confirm its arrival time....they put me on hold then said they couldn't get ahold of the Tow Provider, and offered to rearrange it for in the morning. It was already nearly midnite so I obliged. Then I checked in on the Hebrew Roots Chat Server only to find out there was a huge tropical Storm which was being projected to be a CAT 4/5 barreling down directly on New Orleans! So THAT's why we had to be broke down in Bagdad! If we had made it to our destination on Lake Pontchatrain we would have gotten hit head in with IDA's fury! As it turned out The Most High had us rest there in a hotel for Shabbat, I was able to participate intermittently in the Aviv LiveStream Shabbat Group I found via A Rood Awakening! and despite the non co-operational the Insurance company's 'roadside assistance' The Most High worked it out and got us ready to roll by Sunday morning, the question then was just....which way to roll...
