Tricia: Car has a headache

So, we're in Utah and over a week ago something "popped" in the engine on the freeway and started smoking. We pulled off, towed it to a mechanic and have been waiting to hear back. We showed up just after the mechanics brother had unexpectedly died, and then they forgot our car was there, and last we heard the radiator has exploded and disappeared. :) Oh well, can't beat free lodging and food and being surrounded by family.
