Minneapolis, Minnesota, October 21, 2002 -- I was lost. A thunderstorm was brewing and I could smell it. But I could also smell something else. What was this pungent aroma anyway?

I wondered what would happen if I ran out of gas or broke down, or worse yet, if the weather caught up with me. Hey, it snows here, doesn't it? I thought about how much of a klutz I was for leaving my cell phone back at the hotel.
