Dear Constant Reader,
It’s Friday! I had an exciting time last night (but not the good kind of exciting). I drove to the storage unit to get some folding chairs for tonight’s acro chair class with Kerri N’Fuego. On the way back I ended up on the side of the road with an overheating BeauTeaseMobile. Fortunately I was 15 minutes from The Manor and Betty was good enough to bring Scratch and a bottle of coolant to me and then follow behind until I was safely home. Happy ending (other than the hassle of getting the car into the shop and the expense that follows). However, this experience inspired this week’s tip.
Have a membership to a roadside assistance service.
In a previous tip I recommended having emergency gear in your car, especially when traveling. However, sometimes the problem is more than you can take care of yourself. Imagine being stranded on the side of the road in a strange town with a dead car. Being able to call a service for a tow or a new battery is invaluable.
And sometimes your membership can get you discounts on other services too, like hotel rooms or museum admissions. I know that’s the case with AAA and I take advantage of it whenever I can. (I’d rather buy rhinestones…)
Stay safe out there!
