June 3


Today Chip's dad has a scary experience on the way to work. His 2005 truck stalled or cut off, not real sure. So, he pulled off the road. His doors would not unlock nor would his windows go down. He thoughtfully pulled out his owner's manual. While looking through it he began smelling a burning electrical smell. At that point he saw smoke coming from under the hood. It quickly began pouring into the cab. At this point he had to kick the window 6 times to get it to break so he could escape. He made it safely out. Some people driving by stopped and helped put out the fire before the fire dept arrived.

Scary! Me in my flip flops would not have fared so well. Chip is getting me and anyone else he knows a tool from work that cuts your seat belt and breaks your window.
We are so thankful that Papa is OK.

scary! I have one of those tools you're talking about and am thankful I've never had to use it.
