We finally got the roadside assistance guy out to jumpstart MrsBlue's dead car, so it was homeside assistance in this case. He got it started, and confirmed what we suspected, that the battery was basically shot. So rather than let it idle to try and recharge the battery, I just drove it to the auto parts store and replaced the battery. It's now working right again, and it's nice to have confidence in it, especially in winter weather. Thankfully it died in front of our house where it was easy enough to deal with, rather than leaving us stranded somewhere.

Mr. Tact

If you had any belief or hope Congress would push through a new relief package, forget it. Senator Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.) has put the kibosh on that. McConnell has apparently backed his play. So if anything gets passed I would be very surprised.
