One mile away from the Golden Acorn...

So we're driving…driving to Austin, TX…then the temperature warning light goes on….then the oil light goes on…then a funny smell….then white smoke…then car stops moving…then the phone call to AAA…

"Where are you at?"
"I don't know. The friggin' desert."
"Okay…we'll be there in 15 minutes."
"15 minutes? Really? But you don't know where we're at?"
"We'll be there in 15 minutes.."
Two hours later…we're picked up. We had two highway patrol pass us without stopping. We had a guy on a motorcycle stop to see if we were okay. We also had a young 19 old guy stop and asked if there was anything he could do. I him told no thank you we had AAA, told him he was awesome to stop and he said "Naw…it's my job." He pointed to the USMC on his T-Shirt.

Wow. Semper Fi my friend…Semper Fi…

It turns out we were one mile away from the Golden Acorn Casino…damn…we could've broke down there…we could've won $60,000! I know we would've! Damn.
Instead…we got searched at the border patrol…

"You have anything you need to tell us before we search and find it?"

"Nope. We're clean. We took showers and everything…"
